“The Radio was very popular in the 80s-90s era in Indonesia. Every night people awaited and listened to the drama series of several radio stations. Now, the radio drama becomes unpopular which is changed by the tv drama or ‘sinetron’, It also happens to the glorious era of Indonesia movies in 70s-90s, people were getting excited to watch Indonesian movies in the cinema. Now only some movies are produced every year and there are only a few good ones. I try to elaborate the two media that were popular in the old time by the audio collage work. I called it ‘Disrobot Radio’ (hijacked radio), made from an audio cut from 11-15 movies in 80s-90s. I only cut for an interesting dialogue and reconstruct into a new story related to Indonesian social, politic, and culture condition nowadays. I also make posters for every series from old movie posters that I’ve collected. The poster is for people to imagine the characters from radio dramas that they hear.” (Angga Cipta)
