Tromarama
Simpul
Tromarama (est. 2006, Bandung, Indonesia) is an Indonesian art collective founded by Febie Babyrose (b. 1985, Jakarta), Ruddy Hatumena (b. 1984, Bahrain), and Herbert Hans (b. 1984, Jakarta).
Simpul is a looping red slide with no beginning or end, evoking both a playground and a system of continuous circulation. Referencing gestures like scrolling and swiping, the work reflects how play produces data and value. The looping form recalls both a lasso and the motion of a hand navigating a screen. By connecting physical play with digital activity, Simpul reframes leisure as part of a larger system of repetition and extraction.
