Tromarama

Art collective formed in 2006

Tromarama is an art collective consisting of Febie Babyrose, Herbert Hans, and Ruddy Hatumena whose artistic interests include the notion of hyperreality and interrelationships between the virtual and the physical worlds. Their art often combines video, installation, and algorithmic based computer programming.

In the past couple of years, the artist's collective Tromarama, presented by ROH Projects have been focusing their interest and developing projects around the blurring of how people relate to the digital realm, specifically pertaining to the notion of labor and leisure.
"P P P P P P P P" is a single-channel video which consists of a 3D-rendered animation derived from motion-captured movements of a choreographed dance performance. In this work, Tromarama delves into a transition of energy, from physical movements into data points which then form the basis of video animation. The body of the animated figure is covered by hundreds of eyes looking outward, perhaps referring to the “attention economy” aspect of social media wherein value is measured by the amount of time a platform may hold the gaze of its users on any particular image.
