Abstract

Art in modern society has a role that is not only limited to aesthetic aspects, but also as a medium of social communication that reflects the dynamics of people's lives. The development of technology and globalization has encouraged the transformation of art forms and functions to be more widespread, including through digital media that allows the global dissemination of messages without space and time limits. In addition, art also functions as a means of social reflection that is able to convey criticism of various contemporary issues such as the environment, social inequality, and cultural change. Thus, art has become a universal language that connects cultural values, social identity, and public awareness in the face of changing times.
