Aims and Scopes

Artnodes is a journal dedicated to exploring the intersections of art, technology, and society, emphasizing innovative methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches.

  2. Technological Influence on Art:
    Artnodes examines the impact of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and digital media on contemporary artistic practices, investigating how these technologies shape cultural production.
  3. Cultural and Political Contexts:
    The journal emphasizes the relationship between art and socio-political contexts, exploring how artistic practices can reflect, critique, or influence cultural narratives and political discourses.
  4. Art as Activism:
    There is a consistent focus on artivism, where art is used as a tool for social change and awareness, addressing issues like climate change, gender, and digital rights.
  5. Historical Perspectives:
    Artnodes also engages with historical analyses of art and technology, providing insights into how past practices inform contemporary developments in the field.
Recent publications in Artnodes highlight several emerging themes that reflect current societal concerns and the evolving landscape of art and technology.
  1. Art and Artificial Intelligence:
    There is a growing focus on the relationship between art and AI, examining how generative art and machine learning influence creative processes and challenge notions of authorship.

    Papers addressing the role of art in environmental activism are on the rise, showcasing how artists engage with climate change and ecological issues through innovative practices.
  3. Digital and Virtual Realities:
    An increase in exploration of digital and virtual realities indicates a trend towards understanding how these spaces affect human experience and artistic expression.
  4. Intersectionality in Art:
    Emerging discussions on intersectionality highlight how art can navigate complex identities and social issues, reflecting a broader cultural movement towards inclusivity and representation.
  5. Transdisciplinary Approaches:
    The journal is increasingly featuring works that blend different disciplines, such as science, technology, and art, indicating a trend towards holistic and collaborative research methodologies.

Declining or Waning

Over the recent years, certain themes have seen a decrease in prominence within the journal, reflecting shifts in scholarly focus and societal relevance.
  1. Traditional Art Forms:
    There has been a noticeable decline in papers focused solely on traditional art forms without the integration of technology or contemporary issues, indicating a shift towards more hybrid and interdisciplinary approaches.
  2. Purely Aesthetic Discussions:
    The journal has moved away from discussions centered solely on aesthetics without contextual analysis, favoring papers that connect aesthetic considerations to broader socio-political implications.
  3. Static Media Practices:
    Research on static media practices, such as traditional painting or sculpture, is less frequent, as the journal increasingly prioritizes dynamic and interactive forms of media art.
  4. Local Art Narratives:
    While local narratives were once prominent, there is a waning interest in region-specific art discussions that do not engage with global or transnational contexts, reflecting a broader interest in interconnectedness.
