Nindityo's works are shown locally, regionally, as well as internationally.  He has exhibited at the Jakarta Biennale in Indonesia; the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane; the Havanna Biennale in Cuba; the Gwangju Biennale and Busan Biennale in Gwangju; the Fukuoka Asian Contemporary Art Triennale in Japan; the  International Sculpture Exhibition in Arnhem, The Netherlands; and the Moscow Biennale in Russia. His works can also be seen in many museums and art institutions around the world. 

In 2006, Nindityo decided to focus on artistic research through participating in as well as running many residency projects, such as the Residency Programs in Bute Town Studio in Cardiff, Wales; Joo Chiat Road 106 in Singapore; Triangle Arts Trust in Kowloon, Hong Kong; the Bamboo Culture International in Tamshui, Taiwan; and residencies at Cemeti Art House, Yogyakarta. Some projects he has worked on include Peranakan [Chinese Hybrid in Southeast Asia]; Pesta Senam Kreatif [Party of Creative Gym] together with choreographer Ari Ersandi; and Menganyam Hilang [To Weave Speak] in collaboration with rattan- and grass mat-weavers.

In 1988, together with artist Mella Jaarsma, he founded Cemeti Art House, a non-profit arts organisation incubating and exhibiting the works of local and international artists. 

In 2005, Nindityo and Mella received the John D. Rockefeller 3rd Award from the Asian Cultural Council for their outstanding contributions to visual arts in Asia.
