She completed her Master’s program in Digital Anthropology at University College London in 2023. Her thesis explored the sound aspect of the TikTok platform, titled \u201cJedag jedug: the high-speed sound meme of Indonesian TikTok\u201d. This research was continuously developed on several occasions; it was publicly presented at KUNCI (Study Forum & Collective), discussed in podcasts, participated in the Ruang Mes 56 \u2018Youth of Today\u2019 residency program, and exhibited at the Jogja Fotografis Festival 2024. Rugun began her cultural journey in Yogyakarta while studying Cultural Anthropology at Gadjah Mada University. Her undergraduate thesis discussed second accounts on Instagram among young female users. Rugun has a strong interest in various forms of media, such as the internet (and its culture), documentary films, photography, music, and sound. She firmly believes that media cannot be separated from its context and the issues surrounding it. Since 2022, she has been a member of the TikTok Ethnography Collective.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”30px” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” left_padding_desktop=”16%” constrain_group_2=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”16%” left_padding_phone=”0″ right_padding_phone=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”none” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Education” font_size=”1.8vw” font_size_phone=”25px”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
