Let’s play!

Irwan Ahmett
Hello, my name is Irwan Ahmett! A designer/artist from Jakarta, Indonesia. I’m interested in social issues and behaviour changes. At the moment, I am investigating the value and meaning of happiness in urban society, through the means of specified game concepts. I grew up in a small town in the province of West Java and went through a happy, naughty and spontaneous childhood. My creative processes are highly influenced by this. I enjoy working interactively, and have been trying to touch the public emotion through asking for their involvement in all the work I have done so far.

Tita Salina
I actively contribute to and collaborate with Irwan Ahmett for his projects, since I believe that good coordination is vital to any interactive work that involves many people in its implementation.
I build well-maintained relationship with media, initiate social media network campaigns, keep people posted, and work together with numerous other related parties. In order to maintain smooth-running projects that reach their set goals, I aim for the projects to gain more focus and to find both the right environment and partners.

Dwi Tirtadji
I met Tita and Irwan last year in Jakarta when the duo was working on Urban Play Jakarta. As we have similar backgrounds as graphic designers they invited me to participate in one of their sub-projects. Their view on their home city and the way they let it inspire them to create their project, inspired me to look at The Hague, my home city, from another perspective. In my city I am ready to play with Irwan and Tita, together we will apply their special brand of Urban magic onto The Hague. Are you ready to Play?
