Felix Bacolor earned his art education from the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts coupled with studies at the Mowelfund Film Institute. While his practice is very much informed by bricolage and a keen interest in the exploration of a diverse range of materials, perhaps like many artists enamoured with industrial and found objects, Bacolor carries an ambivalent relationship to technology and its unquestioned capacity to bode progress.
His contribution to JB 2011 is an innocuous digital counter, the counting logic of which alludes to the interminably escalating pace at which bodies and tasks are measured against within mega cities such as Jakarta.
