This week, instead of posting three seperate shows as we usually do, we'll feature RLR's recent Paris invasion, which features and .
a video-maker residing in London, UK made (what I consider as) a satire video called that brought up this problem to screen. It is created with a simple concept: One megaphone, on a mountain in Washington D.C, reciting tweets from Twitter with the tag “nobody listens.”
which started out from the fact that “social media is used to connect but concurrently serves as a disconnect from society outside of the virtual world,” as Rachel Knoll herself wrote in the video description.
“Small City Big Design” is a motto from the legendary graphic design studio based in Bern, Switzerland, Buro Destruct. Since day one, Büro Destruct – especially its core team that consists of Lopetz (71), Mbrunner (70), H1reber (71), and HGBFideljus (71) – has kept open the boundary between art and commercial graphic design, as testified to by the number and variety of techniques employeed, and reflected in projects for clients from widely differing fields. They have held exhibitions, lectures, and workshops around the world.

On November 19, Whiteboard Journal hosted our fifth meeting at Kinokuniya Plaza Senayan. This month, we focus on the concepts of “place” and “space” in everyday life. How do we perceive our workspaces? To what extent do we feel attached to our “homes”? By sharing our personal experiences or reflections, we tried to answer such questions.
- The word “home” means different things to different people. Some participants think of a physical building that will always be waiting for them, while others think of it – to borrow Avianti Armand’s analogy – as a “place of transit.”
- While the home is often considered as a private space, it actually consists of the multiple privacies of its inhabitants. The sum of these privacies gives “life” to the building itself.
- A place becomes a place once it can be associated with something – a memory or a feeling – otherwise it is just a space that can be easily replaced.
- The typical living arrangement in Jakarta is still very family-oriented. Many working individuals still choose to live with their families even when there are no financial constraints. This might be explained by Indonesia’s collective culture.
- However, those who do choose to live independently do so for two possible reasons: Due to practical reasons (to be closer to their workplace/university) or because they want to break away from the standard arrangement (to create an alternative way of living).
- Some offices have cubicles/partitions while others do not. There are downsides and benefits found in each one, but the effectiveness highly depends on the nature of the job.
- What is a major difference between public and private places? Rules. While the former typically has clear rules that allow or prohibit certain actions, the latter operates according to unwritten rules that are based on mutual expectations of the involved parties.
- While the number of cafes in Jakarta has been increasing at an impressive rate, the “cafe culture” as we know it today is actually nothing new. It is merely one that reflects the current society’s buying power. The tendency for Indonesians to “nongkrong” (hang out) has always been around.
- Social media has changed the way people perceive boundaries. We are rarely aware of the distance that separates our online friends and us.
- Laptops, smartphones and tablets are portals that take us away from the physical places we are in. Can our technological habits change our need for space? Will people of the future be content with smaller living places?

Walley Films presents multimedia artist Justin Boyd, a faculty member of the Sculpture and Integrated Media department at Southwest School of Art in San Antonio, Texas, shares his connection with sound and how he uses it to create original works of art.
Inspired by his sensitivity to sound was developed at a very young age, Boyd has been recording and working with sound and music since the mid 90s. Boyd actively captures field recordings for integration of sound with found objects.
In the video Boyd is shown very intrigued by sound, any kind of sound. From water streams to train works, he captures them all to use them in his work. The mix of urban and natural noises, together with music from vinyls produces a unique sound that he is known for or better yet, the sound he wants to make.
