Kiang Malingue is pleased to share that Tromarama’s Turn On #2 is currently featured in Times Square Arts’ Midnight Moment, a monthly public art program that showcases the work of contemporary artists across Times Square’s electronic billboards.

Indonesian art collective Tromarama’s Turn On #2 examines how technology reshapes everyday experience, alters our sense of reality, and mediates our relationship with the environment. The work unfolds as a continuous, choreographed loop in which electric fans appear to activate shifting images and familiar scenes from daily life. What initially feels like a clear chain of cause and effect slowly unravels, disrupting expectations shaped by lived experience and raising questions about memory, association, and authenticity in a hyper-connected world. By positioning the screen as a site of continuous negotiation, Turn On #2 explores the ways in which contempo­rary technologies collapse distinctions between the real and the digital–disrupting how identity, memory, and meaning are produced through systems we both inhabit and attempt to control.

July’s Midnight Moment is presented in partnership with The Kitchen, which is presenting Tromarama’s first institutional exhibition in the United States, titled, Upon a Machine on view April 23–June 13, 2026. Using video, installation, and algorithmic processes to investigate the boundaries between virtual and physical worlds, the exhibition traces how information, images, and sound move across digital and physical networks, reflecting on the entanglements of technology, consumer culture, and daily life; they highlight how intelligent systems shape the way we see, listen, and participate.
