The analog and digital intertwine in human and media reality as a unified organism. In art and digital media across all artistic fields – visual and fine art, (audiovisual) performance and theater, music and literature – they draw on an original, personal ascent. Through sensory engagement with sound and vision, interactivity, audience involvement, and collaborative artistic practices, artists working individually or collectively can rely on their own “personal poetics” to address audiences and local communities, using available means and drawing inspiration from people and the environment, as well as its natural and cultural heritage.

Nature is both analog and discrete, as quantum physics or quantum mechanics shows that the smallest particles of nature – smaller than atoms, the so-called elementary particles or quanta – can exist in multiple places at once. Quanta appear either as matter, divided into quarks and leptons, or as force carriers, called gluons, bosons, photons, and gravitons. All elementary particles are either bosons, which carry fundamental interactions, or fermions, the building blocks of matter.

Artistic intelligence as thought and meaning. Metaphysics in the physical body. As analog fact and discrete action. Nature as technology, and technology as nature within digital environments. The human being as interface, mediator, and medium between environments and tools. Programmer and designer. And user. A conglomerate of nature and its outgrowths and extensions. Coexistence and collaboration. Interaction in all directions. Even in harmful and primarily self-serving intentions, disregarding consequences. Yet it could be different if we internalized our actions as responsible toward everything: ourselves, others, nature, the world, the universe, the cosmos, or the multiverse
