The Anthropocene epoch has catalyzed a profound shift in contemporary art, with Bio-Art emerging as a critical field for interrogating the complex relationships between humanity, technology, and the non-human world. While significant scholarship has explored Bio-Art in Western contexts, its unique manifestations within Southeast Asia remain underexamined. This study investigated the rise of a specific mode of Bio-Art in this region, characterized by rhizomatic structures, multispecies storytelling, and deep ecological entanglement, offering a vital counter-narrative to anthropocentric perspectives. This research employed a qualitative, multi-sited case study methodology. Four exemplary Bio-Art projects from Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Singapore, created between 2020 and 2024, were purposively selected. A multi-modal analytical approach was utilized, combining formal visual analysis of the artworks, critical discourse analysis of artist statements and curatorial texts, and thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with the artists and curators. The analysis was theoretically grounded in the concepts of the rhizome (and multispecies ethnography. The analysis revealed four dominant themes. First, artists consistently employed the rhizome as both method and metaphor, creating non-linear, decentralized works that mirrored ecological networks. Second, a significant pattern of weaving technoscience with traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) was identified, where advanced biotechnologies were syncretized with local cosmologies and indigenous practices. Third, the artworks actively engaged in more-than-human narration, displacing the human as the central protagonist and instead foregrounding the agency of fungi, plants, microbes, and other organisms. Finally, these projects cultivated affective ecologies, generating powerful emotional responses in viewers to foster critical engagement with pressing regional issues. In conclusion, Southeast Asian Bio-Art, as examined in this study, represents a significant "rhizomatic resurgence" that challenges and expands the global discourse on ecological art. By entangling advanced science with local heritage and centering non-human agencies, these practices foster a profound sense of ecological interdependence. This research concludes that the region's artists are pioneering unique aesthetic and ethical frameworks for navigating our shared planetary crisis, contributing vital perspectives rooted in the unique biocultural complexities of Southeast Asia.

Introduction: Rapid urbanization in the Global South has precipitated a mental health crisis, particularly in high-density, low-income neighborhoods where environmental stressors are endemic. While the association between urban green space (UGS) and mental well-being is well-documented, a critical knowledge gap remains regarding the differential impacts of green space quantity (availability) versus quality (usability/biodiversity) and the mediating role of social cohesion. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a comparative mediation analysis involving 1,240 residents across 15 high-density districts in Jakarta, Indonesia. UGS quantity was measured using satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), while quality was assessed using the Quality of Public Open Space Tool (POST). Mental well-being was evaluated using the WHO-5 Index, and physiological stress was quantified via salivary cortisol. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was utilized to test the mediating pathways of social cohesion and physical activity. Results: UGS quality demonstrated a significantly stronger direct effect on mental well-being (β = 0.42, p < 0.001) compared to UGS quantity (β = 0.15, p < 0.05). Social cohesion fully mediated the relationship between UGS quality and well-being (Indirect Effect = 0.18, 95% CI [0.12, 0.25]), whereas salivary cortisol levels were inversely associated primarily with UGS quality (β = -0.33, p < 0.001). Conclusion: In resource-constrained urban environments, the quality of green space—defined by safety, amenities, and aesthetics—is a more critical determinant of public mental health than mere vegetative cover.

Smart city programs in Indonesia expand digital governance infrastructure while raising concerns about citizen surveillance and data privacy. Understanding how perceived surveillance affects citizen trust and participation in polycentric governance structures is critical for sustainable smart city development. This study examined 352 citizens across nine Indonesian cities representing three administrative tiers (Tier-1: Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya; Tier-2: Semarang, Makassar, Medan; Tier-3: Palembang, Balikpapan, Manado) to investigate the relationships among perceived surveillance intensity, citizen trust in governance institutions, and participation in polycentric governance mechanisms. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed a statistically significant model explaining 42.1% of variance in citizen trust (R² = 0.421, adjusted R² = 0.399, f² = 0.727). Facial recognition perceived intensity demonstrated the strongest negative predictor (β = -0.378, 95% CI [-0.498, -0.258]), while multi-stakeholder governance participation showed the strongest positive predictor (β = 0.334, 95% CI [0.218, 0.450]). Additional significant predictors included closed-circuit television surveillance intensity (β = -0.312), citizen feedback mechanisms (β = 0.298), data transparency (β = 0.287), decentralized decision-making participation (β = 0.256), governance literacy (β = 0.213), e-government service use (β = 0.189), and educational attainment (β = 0.145). These findings indicate that while surveillance technologies undermine institutional trust, inclusive governance processes and transparency mechanisms strengthen citizen confidence. Indonesian smart city programs should prioritize polycentric governance structures, data transparency, and digital literacy initiatives to mitigate surveillance-related trust erosion. Results support policy recommendations emphasizing stakeholder participation, technological accountability, and institutional transparency as essential components of citizen-centric smart city governance.

Background: Escalating environmental hazards across Indonesia have transformed the climate crisis into a collective mental-health and sociological concern, yet whether ecological anxiety paralyses or mobilises young people remains contested, and Global South evidence is scarce. Objective: Drawing on the Social Identity Model of Collective Action integrated with collective-efficacy theory, this study examined whether collective efficacy moderates the eco-anxiety to climate activism relationship and whether catalytic eco-anger mediates it. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 1,500 Generation Z respondents aged 16 to 24 years recruited through public organizations in Palembang, South Sumatera, Indonesia, using validated multi-item five-point Likert scales. Analyses comprised reliability and confirmatory measurement modelling, a correlation matrix, hierarchical moderated regression with simple-slope decomposition, bootstrapped mediation, and diagnostics for common-method bias, multicollinearity, and clustering. Results: All constructs were reliable (Cronbach's alpha 0.84-0.88; McDonald's omega 0.84-0.87; composite reliability 0.84-0.87; average variance extracted 0.63-0.65) and discriminant validity was supported (heterotrait-monotrait ratios <=0.62). Common-method bias was not a threat (Harman first factor 36.96%). Collective efficacy positively predicted activism (beta = 0.39, 95% CI [0.35, 0.43], p < 0.001) and significantly moderated the eco-anxiety to activism path (interaction beta = 0.57, 95% CI [0.53, 0.60], p < 0.001; Delta-R2 = 0.32; f2 = 0.55). Simple slopes showed a crossover: eco-anxiety was associated with lower activism at low efficacy (-0.56) but higher activism at high efficacy (0.57). Catalytic eco-anger competitively mediated the association (indirect = 0.33, 95% CI [0.29, 0.38]) against a negative direct effect (-0.24). Conclusion: Collective efficacy conditions whether climate distress becomes organised activism, extending collective-action theory to the Global South and informing Indonesian youth and climate policy.
