Riar Rizaldi is an Indonesian born, Hong Kong based artist, filmmaker and researcher. His artistic practice focuses on world-views and the possibility of theoretical fiction. He is interested in the complexity of belief systems, with particular focus on his home of Indonesia. Using speculative science-fiction, he examines the consequences of advanced technology and modern science on the social, political, and cultural life of human and nonhuman in Southeast Asia, especially in the Indonesian archipelago. Rizaldi explores these issues through the notion of world-building, colliding fiction and observation, and experimenting with audiovisual language and form.
