Tromarama
Ping Inside Noisy Giraffe
SongEun Art and Cultural Foundation
Seoul

Since their founding in 2006, Tromarama has critically interrogated the technological and societal developments of social media, tracing its evolution since the dawn of its influence. The Jakarta- and Bandung-based collective’s first solo exhibition in Korea at SongEun Art and Cultural Foundation presented works spanning 19 years, from their earliest video Serigala Militia (2006)—created the year before the iPhone launched—to newly commissioned installations. The past two decades have borne a growing disillusionment with tools once celebrated as emancipatory, but which have increasingly transformed into instruments of corporate control and social division.
