“I-Ruang” in ritual reality is a sacred place where ritual activities occur. The “I-Ruang” is attached to the body of a Wadian -a healer in the Dayak Ma’anyan tribal community in Central Kalimantan- which they carry with them when performing rituals at the house of the person they are healing. In this work, the concept of flexibility of the “iruang” is interpreted through the phenomenon of migration of analog bodies to virtual space.
