Indonesian artistic collective TacTic Plastic engages in collaborative environmental art making, focusing on upcycling plastic waste into immersive installation works. Co-founded by artist Mutia Bunga and Budi Setyawan, the collective's practice bridges traditional Javanese ecological knowledge with contemporary material culture. By processing discarded plastic bags, yarn, wire, and light elements into sculptural forms, TacTic transforms environmental refuse into visual dialogues on climate disruption, human-nature detachment, and sustainable material futures.

Their practice investigates the widening rift between humanity and the natural environment, drawing on traditional agricultural frameworks such as Pranatamangsa and historical Javanese prophecies like Udan Salah Mangsa to reflect on modern climate crises. In works such as Kayun Kalamangsa and its light installation iteration, TacTic utilizes collective upcycling as both a tactical strategy and an imaginative medium to rebuild intimate relationships with nature. Executed over specific seasonal cycles (Mangsa), their woven plastic banners and illuminated suspended flora reframe discarded synthetic waste into living symbols of hope, ecological harmony, and alternative material cultures.
