The article investigates the impact of digital colonialism in the field of contemporary art, with an emphasis on digital artistic manifestations. Starting from a theoretical analysis of the concept of digital colonialism, understood as a contemporary form of domination exerted by large technological corporations, the study explores the implications of this logic on the production, circulation, and reception of artworks in virtual environments. The analysis addresses issues such as algorithmic surveillance, the imposition of Western technological standards, and the marginalization of local artistic expressions, proposing digital art as a privileged space to reflect on and combat these dynamics. Examples of artists and works that deconstruct the power structures of digital colonialism are presented, offering a critical and interdisciplinary perspective on the relationships between art, technology, and cultural justice.
