ABSTRACT

Sculptures serve as a symbolic reflection of a spirit that contains philosophical, historical, and aesthetic elements. Digital technology makes it easy to replicate and reduplicate, as well as speed up, the process of working on the pre-production process and the production of three-dimensionally built objects. A society’s misinterpretation turned the monumentally built objects in Bandung into a decorating tool for the city, yet visually borrowing form from cultural objects with philosophical value. The method used in this study was ethnography-descriptive observations on three-dimensional spatial objects to explore relationships between the physical form of the objects with cultural philosophical beliefs of today’s society. There has been a decrease in philosophical significance because of cultural objects’ replication through the use of digital technology.
