Heri Dono’s Fermentation of the Mind places fibreglass heads on old school desks. Step on a pedal and they nod together while distorted chanting begins. It is funny for a moment, then slightly disturbing. A classroom should create independent thought, yet here agreement has become mechanical. Dono turns propaganda into choreography, using recycled electronics and references to Indonesian shadow-puppet traditions.
