INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES TO AESTHETICS IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Keywords:
Digital aesthetics, Interdisciplinary art, Algorithmic creativity, Immersive technologies, Cultural convergence, Audience engagementAbstract
This article investigates interdisciplinary approaches to aesthetics in the digital age, highlighting how the convergence of technology, culture, and artistic practice has reshaped the ways in which beauty, meaning, and creative value are perceived and produced. The study considers aesthetics not merely as a philosophy of art but as a multidimensional field where digital media, visual culture, performance, and design intersect with disciplines such as philosophy, anthropology, communication studies, and computer science. By analyzing the impact of virtual environments, algorithmic creativity, immersive technologies, and global cultural exchange, the article reveals how traditional concepts of authorship, originality, and audience engagement are being redefined. It emphasizes the necessity of an interdisciplinary lens to understand aesthetic experiences in digital contexts, where art is increasingly participatory, networked, and mediated by technology. Ultimately, the article argues that aesthetics in the digital age cannot be confined to singular disciplinary boundaries, as its vitality lies in its ability to bridge fields of knowledge and foster innovative modes of artistic and cultural expression.
