Sketch of Selubung Rumah
Artist: Linxirwengi
Linxirwengi (Alieneta Firdausi) is an Indonesian visual artist working across analog/digital collage, video art, short films, and digital posters. Her practice is driven by her interest in observing human interaction, nature, dreams, and spiritual experiences.
Her short film and art video "Salesman" (c.2023) a collaboration with Rangga Purnama Aji, duo project with Sesarini "Upi" "The Unusual Event: Voices" (c.2021), "BUKAN VIRUS" (c.2020), and "Abandoned Cups" (2021) have been presented in various international and local platforms, including the 555 S.E.A. Group Exhibition (Bangkok), KDM Cinema (Yogyakarta), Lift-Off Filmmaker Sessions 2023, Minikino Film Week #8 (Bali), Studio 54 (Jakarta), BVAF 2021 (Moscow), and Cirebon Video Art Screening (CIVAS 2022).
As a collagist, Alieneta often repurposes paper waste into new visual narratives, like her collage "Raindrops Archiving" (c.2023) was showcased at the J+ Art Awards Exhibition (Salatiga, 2024). She is also developing an ongoing series, "Mind Mapping My Home", reflecting on memory, domestic space, and lived experience. Works from this series have been exhibited at Rahayu Digital Art Exhibition (Jepara, 2023), Bunga Zine Fest (Jakarta, 2024), HANDS INTERTWINED, and LOVE AND POPULATION (Yogyakarta, 2025).
This work consists of two sketch pages for Selubung Rumah, a metaverse piece created during the ▒▒▒dreamRAM▒▒▒::newfangled verses Art Critique Group residency hosted by Loop Art Critique in collaboration with the Museum of Wild and Newfangled Art, exhibited at loop.onland.io
Selubung Rumah combines ideas from two of my collage works: Mind Mapping My Home (the object that will be displayed repetitively within the verse) and Steps of Perceiving (the compositional and perspectival approach offered to experience the verse).
I drew these Selubung Rumah sketches on paper using pen, photographed them, and converted them into a 3D object using imagetostl.com. The two sketch pages were merged into a single 3D model, so they intertwine: one page produces the indented texture based on the sketch, while the other reveals the black sketch lines.
This Selubung Rumah Sketch work is directly connected to the Selubung Rumah verse, which you can access and visit at https://verse.loop.onland.io/j6Yz2tp/selubung-rumah-1. The work aspires to encourage viewers to observe it from multiple angles, allowing different shapes to emerge depending on their point of view.
