Abstract

Batik is a real example of Indonesian artwork whose existence is still superior in today's world of art talks. The existence of batik has even been recognized by UNESCO on 2009 as one of the world's cultural intangible heritages. Batik is understood as a whole process of creation, the work produced, and the philosophy. The batik consensus, in the manufacturing process, was challenged by manual and machine printing, and now in digital printing. The purpose of this paper is to examine the existence of original batik processed with traditional technology that can still be sustainable and develop in this digital era. The method used is descriptive qualitative to show the existence of batik in the digital era. The result is traditional batik in this digital era is still exists. Counterfeiting batik products can be anticipated by labeling Batikmark "INDONESIA batik". Digital technology can be used to support the research and other aspects related to batik. The role of art, government, university, private sector, artists, and individual batik lovers also play an important assignment in the preservation and development of traditional batik until this millennium.
