The emerging artistic movements and trends that are grounded in digital media or enhanced through the use of digital tools and technologies are fostering new debates around sustainability and social responsibility. These discussions highlight the imperative to generate opportunities and to construct artistic contexts founded upon principles of accessibility, openness, and equity—contexts that transcend physical and generational barriers which might otherwise hinder access to art and artistic creation through new technologies.

Envisioning the future of art also entails engaging with the challenges and considerable advantages presented by virtual environments, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, Web3, and related developments. Active participation within these ecosystems—both in specialized circles and, significantly, in those directed toward general audiences—alongside debate, dissemination, and education, contributes meaningfully to the enrichment of the global cultural landscape and supports the consolidation of new frameworks for artists, institutions, and the broader public.

Artists and cultural agents within the digital sphere are entrusted with the significant challenge, opportunity, and privilege of shaping and rewriting the history of digital art through responsible, inclusive, impactful, and universally oriented production. This calls for initiatives that extend beyond conventional artistic spaces and their traditional actors, actively engaging society at large —without restrictions— in the exploration and practice of these emerging trends, their production models, tools, environments, applications, and challenges.
