Computers, networks, and digitization have been explored in art since the middle of the 20th century and have let to new artistic and cultural forms, which often transcend traditions.

IT is not just a matter of cables, codes and machines, but also of new expressions, new cultures and new experiences.

Here we can discuss and critically explore what happens when our art and culture increasingly become digital.
