Abstract

Traditional batik is an Islamic communication medium laden with spiritual values based on divine fitrah. However current artificial intelligence intervention has reduced human creative processes into machine computation. This qualitative conceptual philosophical study applies Gadamerian Hermeneutics to analyze this landscape disruption. The text analysis deepens using the books of Al Hikam and Adabul Alim wal Mutaallim. Study results show that generative technology intervention triggers the desecration of batik motif dawah values. The prompt engineering process is proven to remove sincerity creating profane visual commodities. Human machine collaboration also cuts the cultural sanad chain prioritizing patience and meticulousness. Consequently the artisan aesthetic authority collapses and shifts into the black box of computational algorithms. As a resolution step this research offers a new idea named Post Digital Resacralization concept. This concept asserts that machine design blueprints must be returned using manual canting. This re humanization effort injects back the room of dhikr and aesthetic human imperfection. This vertical synthesis ensures modern batik remains submissive under the control of divine values.
