During the event, Pipin Budilou led a live demonstration and sharing session. He showed step-by-step methods to develop doodles, starting from basic shapes and lines. Then, he demonstrated how to combine these elements into more complex and engaging compositions. As a result, participants gained a clearer understanding of how to approach doodle art in a structured yet playful way.

Moreover, Pipin shared insights into his creative process. He explained how consistency, experimentation, and observation play key roles in developing a personal visual style. He also encouraged participants to explore freely and not be afraid of making mistakes. This approach helped participants see doodling not only as a technique, but also as a form of creative expression.

Bones 2095: Vivid Afterlife by Universitas Pelita Harapan

Description : “Bones 2095: Vivid Afterlife” is an evocative installation that thrusts the concept of “trash to art” into the future, marrying the indie spirit with the vibrant urban life of New York City. This piece utilizes discarded materials such as plastic waste, bottles, fabrics, as well as metals like wire and aluminum foil, capturing the essence of New York’s consumable culture in food and fashion. “Bones 2095” is a testament to the power of individual expression and the potential for sustainability within urban environments. Through the use of striking neon colors, it pays homage to New York’s graffiti scene, embodying bold and vibrant expressions of art. The title and the work itself evoke a futuristic perspective on ecological awareness and artistic creativity, portraying a vivid afterlife where discarded materials are reborn into a dazzling expression of indie and urban aesthetics.
