Rosit Mulyadi

Rosit explores the nature of self-presentation online: construction of identity through the mediated screen of our digital devices.

BIOGRAPHY

(b. 1988, Bantul, Yogyakarta) Rosit Mulyadi graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Institut Seni Indonesia, Yogyakarta in 2007, where he lives and works today.

He has held 5 solo shows since 2010, with his most recent solo show ‘A Scanner Darkly’ at Gajah Gallery Yogyakarta. Aside from this, he has taken part in numerous group shows and festivals across Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea and New Zealand.

As part of worldwide efforts to fight the pandemic, nationwide quarantines have radically altered these digital interactions further, where they are now seen as an essential part of our daily lives and work. The stylistic choice Rosit makes for this new series is a combination of the traditionally taught artistic practice of copying Old Master works and the remix culture of the internet, partially modified and abstracting these images to communicate an aura of vagueness and obscurity, serving as a metaphor for the self-construction process in today’s social media age.
