Abstract

The proliferation of advanced text-to-image generative AI represents a paradigmatic shift in visual culture. It instigates a profound crisis for established concepts of authorship and aesthetics while also raising critical questions about artistic labor and the political economy of cultural production. This study investigates the complex negotiations between human creators and algorithmic systems. This study employed a qualitative, multi-modal methodology. A visual semiotic analysis was conducted on a curated corpus of 300 artworks from Midjourney, DALL-E 3, and Stable Diffusion, sampled to mitigate platform-specific biases. This was triangulated with a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 15 artists and designers actively using these tools. The methodological limitations, specifically the sample's "adopter-centric" bias, are explicitly acknowledged. The visual analysis identified a distinct "algorithmic gaze" characterized by hyper-compositing, surreal corporeal logic, and stylistic convergence, reflecting both the system's non-human perspective and the biases of its training data. The thematic analysis of artist interviews revealed three dominant experiential themes: the artist's role being reframed as curatorial, the creative process as a form of dialogue, and the interaction as an exploration of the system's "latent space". These participant narratives often frame the interaction in terms of empowerment and collaboration. In conclusion, generative AI reconfigures authorship into a distributed network phenomenon. However, this study argues that this posthuman collaboration occurs within a system structured by significant power asymmetries. The aesthetics of the algorithmic gaze are not neutral but are shaped by the commercial and ideological imperatives of the platforms. The artist's experience of empowerment coexists with broader material processes of deskilling, alienation, and the centralization of cultural production. Understanding this new paradigm requires a critical synthesis of posthumanist theory and political economy.

Abstract

Indonesia is witnessing a significant demographic shift where Gen Z increasingly delays marriage, a departure from traditional norms. This study investigates how economic precarity—characterized by job instability and rising living costs—impacts the timing of marital transitions. Utilizing a longitudinal dataset of 1,500 urban-dwelling Gen Z individuals (ages 18–28) in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung, this research employs Survival Analysis, specifically Kaplan-Meier and Cox Proportional Hazards models, to identify the hazard of marriage relative to economic indicators. The findings reveal that Gig Economy employment reduces the marriage hazard rate by 42 percent compared to formal sector employment. High debt-to-income ratios and housing unaffordability are identified as primary predictors of postponement. Interestingly, female Gen Zers with high educational attainment show a higher propensity for postponement, citing the double burden of domestic and professional roles. In conclusion, marriage in urban Indonesia is no longer just a social milestone but a calculated economic risk. Policy interventions should focus on housing stability and formalizing the informal labor market to support demographic sustainability.

Abstract

The global coffee supply chain relies heavily on smallholder farmers, yet agrarian communities face a crisis of generational succession. This study investigates the aspirations of rural youth in Pagaralam, South Sumatra, and the socio-economic mechanisms driving their reluctance to inherit family-owned coffee home industries. A cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted among 200 respondents aged 16–30 from coffee-farming households. To target established enterprises, a purposive sampling strategy was utilized. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires. A binary logistic regression analysis was employed to identify predictors of generational succession intent. Only 24.5% (n = 49) of respondents expressed a definitive intent to continue the family business, whereas 61.0% (n = 122) preferred urban or digital employment. The predictive model demonstrated a strong fit (Nagelkerke R-squared = 0.428). Significant negative predictors for succession included higher educational attainment (Odds Ratio = 0.30, p-value < 0.001), perceived income volatility (Odds Ratio = 0.32, p-value < 0.01), and the perceived low social status of farming (Odds Ratio = 0.45, p-value < 0.05). Conversely, access to agricultural modernization technology was a strong positive predictor (Odds Ratio = 3.15, p-value < 0.01). In conclusion, youth out-migration from the coffee sector is strongly associated with structural economic barriers and shifting cultural aspirations rather than a lack of foundational knowledge. Securing the future of these industries requires targeted interventions that integrate technological innovation to rebrand coffee processing as a lucrative, high-status entrepreneurial endeavor.
