Artificial intelligence (AI) does not merely shape the contemporary digital world; it transforms it into a battleground where hegemony and resistance coexist. Under the guise of innovation, AI alternately reinforces globally unequal power structures or emerges as an ally of creative movements challenging these dynamics. Its role is, therefore, deeply ambiguous and riddled with contradictions.
In the galaxy of the internet, where algorithms are the new colonizers, artists from the Global South face a fresh wave of conquest: digital colonialism. Beneath the shiny guise of “technological inclusion,” lies a dynamic that echoes the historical inequalities of traditional colonialism. Instead of ships and flags, it’s now servers and digital platforms shaping

Under the aegis of neoliberal markets, digital art emerges as a terrain of pulsating tensions. More than a mere reflection, it is a field of forces where algorithms and market interests intertwine, shaping works that balance technological euphoria with a critique that is sometimes hesitant. Interactivity, programmed obsolescence, and the allure of virtual luxury converge
Across the expansive terrain of digital art, a multifaceted mirror rises, reflecting the dazzling yet shadowy contours of neoliberal subjectivity. In this space where algorithms converge with creativity, artists shape the tensions of amplified individualism, insatiable competition, and the consumptive logic that defines our era. As they navigate the traps of digital platforms, these artists
