"The Great Tingling
Machine" is the title of this extraordinary sculpture
which was built on the grounds of the Erasmus Huis during the month of
June, 2001,
and completed on June 22 in celebration of Jakarta's birthday.
Originally
conceived as a moving sculpture that uses scrap metal. The name "Tingling
Machine" is inspired on the name and work of the Swiss artist, Jean Tinguely.
Five giant leaves are supporting a huge globe made of bamboo. In these
leaves are mounted all sorts of musical and sound-producing instruments.
Rotating on a motorized base, the movement of the bamboo globe causes the
various instruments to produce sounds. The globe has electronic
microphones
to pick up certain sounds, from the squeaking, scraping and tinkling of
instruments, machine parts and the wind itself. The sculpture is a
metaphor
for earth, with its natural abundance of plants and flowers surrounded by
humanity's screeching, scraping, humming, technological progress.
Marcus
was assisted by : Sanggar Anak 'Akar: Amin, Jay, Joni, Sandi, Tian,
and the
festival volonteers Ati and Danang.
Sanggar anak akar is a medium of education for marginalized children
organized by concerned members of the community with the participation of
the children themselves. |

Inspired by
JakArt @ 2001 and Artistic Director Mikhail David
International Arts Cultural & Educational Festival June 2001
JakArt@2001 is a not-for-profit festival to celebrate the birthday of
Jakarta, in June 2001. Jakarta was transformed into a huge stage for a
whole
month. Not only most of the exiting venues
in the city, such as concert halls and theatres,
but also unconventional venues in the city,
such as schools and universities,
community centers, community theaters, parks, the
streets, mosques, churches, cafes, a bus that opens
into a stage.... and more was used. The local
community was involved to the maximum extend
possible, by taking the festival to them and
creating hands-on experiences and events.
JakArt@ 2001 was
a celebration of human culture.
JakArt@ 2001 was the result of the combined efforts of an impressive number
of individual artists and concerned citizens who had collectively come
to
the realization that some action was called for imminently. These same
individuals have struggled for many years and to various degrees of success
to address the concern of the lack of adequate educational and financial
support (often due to lack of understanding of the important links between
the arts and our everyday economic and social activities). In Jakarta,
a
city of 15 million people, most of the cultural projects and events address
themselves to narrow and specialized audiences and seldom reach the wider
public. What made JakArt@ 2001 different is that for the first time in
many
years a consensus had emerged that if all these noble efforts in the various
fields and disciplines could be pooled together for just one moment in
time,
i.e. June 2001, and in just one space, i.e. Jakarta, then perhaps we could
create a monumental event that will reach a wide audience and draw attention
to a number of important issues. We hope that this will start an on-going
dialogue that will develop into a deeper level of understanding. |
