"Jkt Chirp Everywhere", 2014

On his walk along Jl.Jend.Sudirman, Yonaz Kristy found a spot near the river where he can listen to the chirping sound of the bird. Of course, people around the area seem to be too busy to notice that.. For this project, Yonaz took a sample of the birds' chirping sounds and start making a soundscape out of it; creating a bird orchestra singing the happy song: "Di Sini Senang, Di Sana Senang". He plays the chirptunes inside four resin birds on the sky bridge at one of the busiest busway station, and placed on a certain spot where people can listen to it.

Visual diary #4 | it's a funny day: it was also the last day of our intervention series and suddenly most of the plans went south~ there was a huge demonstration going on, the busway stop operating for one day, the traffic is jammed in one side of the road and clear at the other side, and each one of us are stuck in all different locations. And yet, everything did not stop Yonaz for doing his last intervention. Sometime, Jakarta is funny like that.

"Ruang Jeda", 2014

Pasangan Baru (Nastasha Abigail and Dimas Ario) reusing the leftover space of what used to be a phone box. Inside the pause room there was a chair,a mixtape made by Dimas,and narration by Nastasha; bringing people off the busy street and into a 12 minutes pause. At the middle of the project, the artist was amazed by how most people are in such a hurry, so they start to reflecting how they probably act the same in daily life and start making a performance.

Visual diary #3 | the day when we decided to take a break from walking. Start digesting the city by observing and waiting~ watching the world goes by..

"Waktu Bertemu dengan Kalimat-Kalimat di Jalan", 2014

While taking a long walk; Anggun Priambodo was posting poetic text onto the public space along Jl.Jend.Sudirman. The text was quoted from writers, thinkers, zen-master, and even himself, giving the text an even longer time-span and broader audience.
