            Abstract

            Since the onset of Covid in tandem with major advances in computational culture, AI and machine learning, and sociocultural movements around diversity, equity and inclusion, the move to digital life has been rapidly accelerating causing a transformational change in the art world. From museums and galleries to the rise of digital art and artists, the changes wrought by the pandemic tied to political turmoil are causing a reshuffling of what was the cultural milieu, to a new cultural landscape that is at once global, multicultural, and human-centred.
