At least two private companies from Malaysia who are interested in Indonesian batik fractal. Presumably, the neighbor country Malaysia's efforts to make batik as a flagship product of their country,not playing games.
The proof they seek to learn new types of batik, batik fractal developed by the people of Indonesia.
"I really had was contacted by private companies from Malaysia and they offer batik fractal development cooperation there," said Nancy Margried, Director of Pixel Indonesia (a company specializing in batik fractal)
Batik Fractal is a new innovation in the field of batik which utilizes a software that can process a mathematical formula to create a certain pattern in the making of batik.
According to Yun Hariadi, people who develop software in Pixels Indonesian batik fractal, at least two private companies from Malaysia who tried to approach their companies.
Nancy says, actually offer batik fractal development in Malaysia has been approved, he sure will quickly grow batik fractal. "Although government support here is slower, we still want to batik fractal first developed here," he said.
Therefore, it has also been socialized to hundreds of batik fractal batik craftsmen in various centers of batik in Indonesia, both in the centers of batik in Java and Sumatra.
At least they have been doing training to the SMEs in the area of Jambi batik, Pekalongan, Cirebon, until Pacitan, in cooperation with the Ministry of Research and Technology.
Pixel Indonesia until now formed a partnership with about ten SMEs to produce about 50 batik batik fractal per month which is usually made to order, either from domestic or from abroad.
Not only the clothes are often worn by President Yudhoyono and his ministers, batik fractal has also been internationally famous. Even one fractal Pixel Indonesian batik products are also enthused by the Japanese company Sanyo.
"Finally we also received orders batik from renowned figures from the UK games industry, Ian Livingstone," said Nancy. One of Livingstone's work is popular Tomb Raider game which was later filmed.
Pixel Indonesia also began as a research and design project named Pixel People Project, conducted by Muhammad Lukman, Yun Hariadi, and Nancy. They documented about 300 traditional batik motifs from various regions and found that batik is a pattern that has a fractal nature.
Then, they make a software that can produce patterns and ornaments sederhanauntuk batik using a mathematical formula to produce a batik. Through the software fractal formula, a pattern can be modified or combined with other patterns, thus creating new patterns.
The results of their research, entitled 'Batik Fractal, from traditional art to modern complexity' and then selected for presentation at the event Committee of 10th Generative Art International Conference in Politecnico, Milan Italy.
Later, Unesco awarded this invention with the award category 'Stamp of Approval' Award of excellence 2008. "What is clear batik fractal is not just technology that allow people to produce batik, but also create new innovations in the world of batik,"
