Mufti Widi (Garut, 1993) is an artist, director and producer based in Bandung whose practice spans music, visual art, installation, and digital media. He has been playing drums since he was really young — an instrument that taught him rhythm, improvisation, and spatial sensitivity. In 2013 he stopped playing music to explore photography, video, and visual art, a move that expanded his artistic horizon. During college he began working as a music and stage photographer, documenting the Bandung hardcore and punk scene for bands including Lose It All (2012–2014), Outright (2014–2015), and Billfold (2015–2016). In 2017 he returned to the creative field not as a drummer, but as a producer — working across mediums where sound, image, and technology meet.

He worked at Ideabakers (2017–2018) as Photographer & Videographer, then as a photographer, videographer & director at Siasat Partikelir (2018–2019), and as a producer at Sembilan Matahari (2021–2024), a Bandung-based multimedia company where he deepened his practice in visual narrative, immersive technology, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. For him, worlds often considered "not modern" hold their own sophistication, and art can serve as a strategy to dismantle and invert knowledge hierarchies.

He co-founded Larung Ecosyst with five collaborators, each with different expertise — a creative-tech ecosystem based in Bandung and Garut, Indonesia, encompassing Dream State+ and Larung Sound Design, Hojah!, and Larung Initiative. He works as Producer and Project Director, leading teams to build multimedia and new media installations, interactive environments, sonic identities, visual documentation, and strategic systems for cultural institutions, brands, and the ecosystem's own intellectual properties.

Since 2022, he has directed 50+ projects, both collaborative and commercial works. Notable works include Terra Nova (2023), his debut as artist, a multimedia installation collaboration with German artist Iman Skyone at Galeri Ruang Dini, Bandung. Lengan Terkembang: Ruang Lintas Abilitas (2023), an inclusive exhibition at Selasar Sunaryo Art Space featuring 16 artists and collectives, focused on accessibility and inclusive art spaces — where he served as facilitator. Interactive video mapping exhibition for the opening of Parmadenda Library in Garut (2024). He has also delivered projection mapping at Asia Africa Festival (Museum Asia Afrika), Trans Studio Mall, and Museum Nasional Indonesia; permanent interactive installations at Rumah Atsiri; and immersive exhibitions at Museum Asia Afrika and Irama Nusantara. Other projects include Antara Kota Vol.3: Halo Halo Bandung (2025), a group exhibition at Tjap Sahabat with 25 artists from Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Kuala Lumpur; and Revitalisasi Atsiri Interaktif (2025), an interactive installation for Rumah Atsiri.

For Widi, art is a strategy of resistance and reconciliation: a space where tradition and technology, local and global, can meet without hierarchy, opening possibilities for new identities in a changing world.
