The New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT) have affected all sectors of our daily life, including the art world, transgressing its frontier, not only technical and material, but also thematic and conceptual. The objective of this research aims to reflect on this fact, as well as to carry out a study of the digital instruments that are today at the service of art, with a special focus on the Internet and social networks in art (drawing, printmaking, photography, video, digital illustration, painting, and virtual sculpture). For this, a detailed ethnographic and analytical methodology is used on the subject in question, by studying authors such as Alcalá and Jarque, Belting or Valente and Adler, among others. One of the most outstanding conclusions reverts to the ability of current art to become more social and collective thanks to the new revolutionary paradigms of digital technology.

This study analyzes the limitations, possibilities, conditioning factors, and qualitative substrates for the significance of sustainability approaches in global discourses such as the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In order to do this, an Environmental Education workshop was held with elementary students in two public schools in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The students (n = 103) were divided into five groups. Each group received a kit containing a photograph of a work of art, a photograph of Rio de Janeiro, and a news report. As a result of the activity, the participants made a drawing about the construction of a sustainable world. In order to identify their drawings, a qualitative analysis strategy was used through systemic networks and classification into levels of representation. The results indicate that the students relate some SDGs to each other, although the drawings concentrated on the level of representation as description. In School 2, greater sophistication and complexity are observed in the drawings, which include symbolic, syntactic, and semantic aspects. Finally, the conclusions indicate that the drawings include imperative verbs, prescribing modes of change and action for the children to participate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
