For the first time, we turned our 2026 calendar into a playground for 12 local artists and designers.
People often think of Batam as a transit point, an industrial zone, a place you pass through, or maybe just a place where you buy your phone.
With this project, we wanted to flip that narrative a bit. We turned every month into a small stage and asked 12 local artists and designers from Batam to step into it. Each one came with their own approach and visual language, forming a calendar that jumps between styles but still feels connected.
Our hope is that projects like this can help more people, including decision-makers, see that the creative industry is also a meaningful part of the local economy. With consistent support, it can influence how a city grows.

A Series Of — QUESTION EVERYTHING
This project came from a lot of personal frustration over the last two years. I felt lost without a place to ask questions, without a mentor, without anyone to critique or guide me. Maybe it was my fear of asking, or maybe there just wasn’t anyone to turn to. But I quickly realized that this wasn’t just my experience. Many of my closest friends felt the same way, unsure of what the answer, or even what to ask. That’s when I realized there was a bigger need for something like this.
we wanna help those who never had a mentor. The book is full of motivational, persuasive writing, quotes from movies that i personally watched and it also includes 147 ‘What Questions’ designed to guide people through their creative journeys and life decisions. It’s meant to inspire and give clarity to those who may feel stuck or uncertain.

[IMAGINATIVE PROJECT]
It’s easy to stay in your lane. It’s harder to make it all come together. We’re about connecting those frequencies. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
*Maybe it’s time to stop “choosing sides” and start supporting the bigger picture.

It all started with a simple question: “How do you capture a feeling?”
We got together, shared ideas, and kept coming back to small moments — little gestures, quiet details, things that feel real. Slowly, those moments turned into this book.
At DISK, Artistic Research is how we keep ourselves curious and open. It’s about paying attention to what’s around us, being brave to try new things, and trusting our creativity.
Right now, this book is just a glimpse of what it could be. But if you like it and want to see it happen for real, we’re ready to make it happen.
Here’s to capturing moments that matter, and sharing them with people who get it.

Last week was quiet, but trust us, we had something good in the works as DISK is helping BASBOI create a new logo.
That’s all we’re sharing for now… 👀
Keep your eyes peeled!
