Abstract

The development of information and communication technologies delineates, especially in its reticulate articulation, an environment in which artistic experimentation, with its modalities of representation, is able to express itself in a particularly remarkable manner. This environment, moreover, seems to promote creativity and the affirmation of the cognitive capacities in general. To better understand such potentialities, however, it is opportune to consider also those positions (such as Paul Virilio’s) that are hyper-critical of the advent of the “electric environment” and its “artistic” articulations
