The Digital Art Community in Spain: From the Radical Aestheticisation of a "Pure Art", to an "Art for the People"

Abstract

The beginning of the 21st-century in Spain represented a change of paradigm in art's production methods. Digital art not only shaped a new field of aesthetic representation but also meant a lifestyle. This essay tries to make a briefly analyses of the climax that causes such changes. As well as giving visibility to the existence of a new figure of artist commited to the social reality of its surroundings. This shows a reformulation of the term community, so necessary in our days.
