DeKaVeCON is an interactive platform for academics and researchers both from within the country and abroad to answer all the challenges and needs in the field of the latest visual communication design. Industrial development and modernization greatly affect the process of creating art and design because technological advances have also created a diversity of designs. Diverse designs provide many choices and appeal to the public and become a solution to social problems. This diversity of design with technological advances has also given rise to design criticism. Technological advances form a global society whose members interact with each other without space and time constraints. Technology can be used to build cultural bridges. Technology can also accommodate local cultural expressions in artworks. The influence of globalization on local culture needs to be considered because this can have both positive and negative impacts. Local culture can continue to be echoed globally by utilizing information technology. However, local culture can also gradually fade away when the global community is no longer interested in it. At the same time, globalization also affects the aesthetics of contemporary art.
