The destiny of art is connected with the destiny of the world, and current destiny of the networked world depends on understanding of media that bring new rules and establish new relations in culture. In this context the question of limited disciplinary (aesthetic) cognition of art is raised, also the questions on relations of new artistic practices are established, as new techniques, new shapes of art perception, new theories and art philosophy. The beauty of creativity, ceremony, dance, ritual, oral storytelling, various crafts, artistic shapes verified by civil public, is now the area of multimedia and networks. What is the level of artistic in beauty and creation? What is going on with the art in age of multiplicity, creative industries, at the time of turning the world into a supermarket, and spirituality as addition to institutions whose role is to care about spirituality? Modern mass media, by taking the elements of beauty and creativity of artistic worlds, are today the way to close one period of art, i.e. to close the area of other artistic efforts. Some of these artistic shapes are leaving from public scene and become the memories.

This year the main topics of Symposium “Philosophy of media”, dedicated to the theme “Art and media”, are following:

-The art in age of network reproducibility
