Digital Representation of a Conceptual Leather Puppet Character using Holographic Prism Glass

Abstract

Leather shadow puppet performances are slowly becoming iso-lated. They are no longer attracting the young generation to-wards its long duration and language complexity, inclusive of its incomprehensible storytelling and characters. To address this gap, this research utilized a descriptive qualitative method and mind map to transcribe and describe key concepts of both rede-signing and avatar creation of leather shadow puppet character. The purpose of this study was to explore an alternative method in representing leather puppet performance by implementing a holographic prism glass technique. The digital representation of a leather puppet through a holographic prism glass medium is a manifestation of appreciating Indonesian cultural artwork in the modern era. The contribution of this study is to provide a more detailed explanation of a new manner in exploring and preserving the narrative and figure of the cultural heritage.
