What counts as electronic art? Here it means any type of art that is created using electronic or digital technology. This can include visual art, such as digital painting, video art, and multimedia installations, as well as audio-based art, such as electronic music and sound installations. Electronic art often involves the use of computer software, hardware, and other digital tools to create, manipulate, and display the artwork.

AI generated art will not be accepted.
