Entering the 2000s, the development of contemporary Indonesian art exhibits a new phenomenon with artists' various uses of art media.Simultaneously, the development of institutions in the art world has encouraged various forms of exhibition presentations and the co-existence of various art media in local, national, and international contexts.This study employs the contextual ontology approach, utilizing aesthetics and sociology to explore the historical context of the research subjects.Aesthetic discipline is employed to delineate the concept and structure of the medium, sociology is applied to chart the landscape of contemporary art in Indonesia, and historical aspects are utilized to map modern art concepts.Whereas contemporary art practices tend to apply representational politics, media presentation in an exhibition is a collective strategiccontextual goal of art producers such as artists, gallery promoters, and curators, who entrust each other with non-aesthetic interests.It concludes that the exploration of the social dimension of art experience involves the transformation of art appreciation beyond mere aesthetics.Examining the development of the concept of the medium in contemporary Indonesian art reveals its strategic role for all art producers.The medium in contemporary art is no longer solely defined by its aesthetic function but acquires a novel political dimension.
