On its progress Indonesian contemporary art increasingly leads to the hybridization between art and science (whose derivatives are engineering and technology) and cultural criticism. Bandung, in Indonesian art world is known as the "western laboratory" which means that the most work of the artist in this one place explore ideas and mediums that are interdisciplinary and have some scientific approach. One of the factors behind the increasingly diverse forms of interdisciplinary works of art, is the variety of academic backgrounds of young artists today, which previously were dominated by young artists with an art academy background. One of the art groups whose works are interdisciplinary and originating from Bandung is Annuitterra. Annuitterra is one group of collective artists domiciled in Bandung. This group focusing on exploration in the field of art, science and design for the past 4 years. The works vary from works that are strong in scientific elements such as taxidermy, skeletonizing, wet specimen, mummification, diaphonized, plasticization to interactive works with art presentations such as bio art, sound art, scent art, ecological art. This research will focus on using samples from Annuitterras skeleton works to see the development of new media art in Bandung. The results of the analysis show that there is an interdisciplinary tendency and inter-media hybridization in the new media art that enriches Indonesian art discourse.
