Looking back, looking forward
As we move into a new year, it feels like the right moment to pause and take stock: where have we been, and where are we going?
2025 was a big one. Major institutions put their money and curatorial focus where their mouths are with significant digital art acquisitions at MoMA, the Whitney, and Centre Pompidou. AI debates dominated our feeds (and our group chats). Our Top 10 Stories of 2025 highlights some of the key moments of the past year.
Our A-Z of Digital Art 2026 is your roadmap to the year ahead, based on community learnings and analysis from 2025: upcoming art fairs and biennials; artists, galleries and museums to watch; technologies on the horizon; and the ideas and art historical concepts that will shape the next 12 months of art and technology practice.
Consider this your weekend reading assignment. Onward!

“Contributing a commissioned, collaborative poem to Zero 10 allowed me to feel the pulse of that excitement up close, revealing the many emotive pathways this medium opens.”
