BAMBANG N KARIM — INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTIST

A practice moving between physical space, digital architecture and cultural memory. Across movement, sound, text and performance, I look for the fragments that make the commonplace strange again.

01 / POSITION

One practice. Many kinds of space.

Based in Sydney, Australia, Bambang N Karim (BB) is an interdisciplinary artist, creative director and narrative architect. His work brings media art and choreography into conversation with web development, text and music production.

A line of clean code. The physical movement of a body. The geometry of a page. Different materials, held in the same frame.

02 / PRACTICE

Material / inquiry

Movement

Choreography, presence and spatial scores.

Digital

Code and architecture as creative material.

Language

Text, sound and memory shaping a place to think.

03 / NOTE TO SELF

“To love art completely is to endure its constant banality. The creative burden is not in the making, but in wading through the commonplace to find the few fragments that can truly ignite the intellect.”
