News Atlas of Digital Art | Opening Conference

The opening lecture of the News Atlas of Digital Art gives us an overview of digital art on the international scene, particularly in Europe, bringing together various voices – representatives of the main centers of digital art and culture such as the Onassis Foundation, Ars Electronica Futurelab, ZKM Karlsrhue, among others, artists, curators, experts – to open reflections on the many movements and new traces of change in the art world.

Throughout the morning, topics such as the roots of digital art will be addressed, highlighting its seeds of innovation, leading to the new frontiers of “digitally native” immersive art and the new cultural and economic models related to the NFTs world. We will not neglect the relationships between contemporary art and digital languages, as well as the perspective of digital art as a trigger for social and economic innovation in the collaborative Art/Science/Technology context.

Opening remarks will include Maria Grazia Mattei – President MEET; Giovanni Fosti – President Fondazione Cariplo; Giuseppe Sala – Mayor of Milan; and Fabrizio Sala – Vice President Regione Lombardia.
