Abstract

Interdisciplinary problem-oriented research in the digital environment, such as e-Humanities, virtual artificial environments, and digital humanities, is considered. New perspective directions of digital art, digital artistic practices arising from information and communication technologies, digital media are being explored. Digital trends are increasingly affecting the world of culture and art, involving various aspects of the convergence of cultures, media and information technologies, creating new forms of communication.
