2014 recap.

It's december already. *sigh*

But it's been an interesting year for me so far.

- After 2 and a half years of work, i quit my position as head of documentation at JKT48 Project in January.

- Before i left, the group titled a song after my name haha that was fucking hilarious.

- Made a concert film "Lemuria live at Rossi Musik Fatmawati", which i can say is the best concert ever that i attended in 2014!

- Since i have lots of free time after the JKT48 project, i finally got a chance to finish my own documentary movie that i've been doing since 2010,  "BISING". A big thank you to lots of friends who helped me finish this movie!

- Going solo vacation to Macau and Hong Kong and screened "BISING" for the first time (world premiere!) at Re-Records event: Subliminal Lounge #1. Thanks to Dennis Wong for making this happen. Few people came, i think it was around 20 people, it's not a big number but i get a chance to meet new people, that's the only thing that matters.

- Made an experimental documentary about my trip to Hong Kong "孤独 (Gūdú / Solitary)".

- Eurotrip to Neatherlands, Switerland, and Germany.

- "BISING" got an official selection at LUFF 2014 (Lausanne Underground Film and Music Festival) alongside "A l’Est de l’enfer", for the Extreme Indonesia programme.

- And also screened a week before at Cinema Spoutnik in Geneva for GLUFF 2014 (one of the pre-events of LUFF).

- Got a chance to see Antemasque concert live in Switzerland.

- Going to Sulawesi for the first time.

- Directing my first major label music video (i wont tell you the band name, haha).

- Japan trip!

- Performing my laptop music crap abroad in 3 countries (Hong Kong, Switzerland, and Japan) under my real name.

- 孤独 (Gūdú / Solitary) got selected at Artfools Video Festival that will be held in Larissa, Greece next year.

Here's hoping for more interesting things to come next year!

my blackberry was fucking restarting all the time so i purchased samsung galaxy s3 weeks ago. what a fucking sophisticated smartphone. here's a thing, i hate typing on touchscreen and also i have to charge the battery every 6 hours. lame. but i have to adapt with the gadget updates and touchscreens are everywhere, i think the future will be all touchscreen which i can't deny it. so yeah i have to learn typing on a flat digital keyboard. but the good thing is: i have an instagram account now. LOL. some iphone users hate it when instagram decided to expand the application to android, and guess what, now i'm one of those android users hahaha.

personally, i think most of instagram pictures are boring, well don't get me wrong, the pictures are good, but it's not interesting anymore. instagram used to be interesting but now everyone's doing it, same composition (suchas your-own-shoes picture, landscape, food), and there aren't much filter and editing options in it. okay okay but that's what instagram all about right? creating good, color-graded picture instantly. the good thing is instagram helps people to explore their artistic side on photography, instantly.

and now, i decided to be one of those boring people, HA! yes, #middlefingart is a project of mine which consisted of my right middle finger and instagram. here's a story behind it, I used to have an ordinary middle finger until 9th december 2003. ‪through instagram, i would like to make my middle finger useful again. #middlefingart will be running until the tenth anniversary of my "new" middle finger, which is on 9th december 2013. and no. i'm not inspired by ai weiwei's 'perspective'.
