About the Artist:
The House of Natural Fiber (HONF) Foundation is a creative community of artists, DJs, physicists, hackers, architects, scientists, makers, activists, expert users, and designers who test the possibilities of media art to address critical social issues through science and technology while pushing the boundaries of art and individual authorship.  

M. Haryo Hutomo lives and works between Indonesia and Switzerland, graduated from arts pedagogic (B.Ed) State University of Jakarta. He has an interdisciplinary practice with a focus on how art engages with the praxis of life and explores the interaction between art, science, politics and human relation in both practical and aesthetic ways.  

Irene Agrivina is a technologist and activist working closely with arts, science and technology that focuses on the application and practical use in daily life of collaborative, cross-disciplinary and technological actions responding to social, cultural and environmental challenges.
