Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisi estetika visual Ironmouse menggunakan kerangka estetika Dennis Dake yang mencangkup perspektif seni, sains, dan interdisipliner. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif-interpretatif, penelitian menelaah bagaimana warna, bentuk, ekspresi, dan simbol membentuk pengalaan estetis dan respons emosional audiens. Perpektif seni dijelaskan melalui konsep significant form Clive Bell serta semiotika Roland Barthes dan Charles sanders Pierce. Perspektif Sains menggunakan teori persepsi visual Ann Marie Barry dan psikologi estetika Berlyne untuk memahami bagaimana elemen visual memicu perhatian dan juga empati. Integrasi keduanya menunjukkan bahwa estetika Ironmouse tidak hanya lahir dari desain artistic, tetapi juga dari mekanisme persepsi dan budaya digital. Temuan ini mengaskan bahwa Ironmouse memiliki daya tarik visual multidimensional yang terbentuk melalui sinergi antara seni, sains, dan konteks interaktif komunitas Vtuber.
