Welcome to The Lost Jungle!

Step inside this interactive multimedia installation created by the artist collective Tromarama. Experience a live, virtual jungle simulation where the cloud formations; rain intensity; the breeze through the trees, and the movement of the creatures living in the jungle are influenced by the current weather in Jakarta, gathered in real time from publicly accessible data.

On your journey, you might encounter some strange and fantastic creatures which have been created by children at home. You too can log on to The Lost Jungle - Website, and create new creatures using the patterns, shapes, and colours inspired by real, endangered animals. Also look out for another artwork called 40ºC Fable (2021), where the animations on screens respond to people as they move through the gallery — how will this work respond to you?

To create The Lost Jungle, the artists have been working with biologists to research the relationship between humans, the natural environment, and technology. Human activities have caused a major impact on the earth’s biodiversity and ecology — and while technology helps us to stay connected to each other, can we use it to be more mindful of our impact on the planet?

‘Tromarama: The Lost Jungle’ is a UOB Museum MACAN Children’s Art Space Commission, a commission by artists dedicated to children and their families.
