This study examines the adaptation of wayang kulit art to the digital realm through the phenomenon of Ki Yohan Susilo's Ngamen Online on YouTube. The research aims to analyze innovations in wayang performances in the digital era, their impact on cultural preservation, and their relevance to younger generations. The method used is qualitative, involving in-depth interviews, online documentation from the "Langgeng Budaya" channel, and literature studies. The research findings indicate that the digitalization of wayang offers advantages such as boundless geographic access and new interactions with a global audience, particularly younger generations who were previously unfamiliar with wayang. These findings affirm that digital technology is not a threat, but rather a strategic opportunity and vital instrument for maintaining the essence, moral messages, and sustainability of wayang art in addressing the challenges of modernization and cultural homogenization.
