In the ever-evolving landscape of art and education, a profound shift has taken place, marked by the advent of the post-digital and post-internet era. These terms have become synonymous with artworks, artists, exhibitions, and educational practices that navigate the intricate interplay between online and offline, digital and physical, and material and immaterial realms. Recognizing the significant socio-technological conditions that shape this era, contributors to this edited volume boldly challenge established narratives and assert field-specific ownership of these terms. They delve into their potential and potential limitations when discussing art and education, fostering a critical examination of the field.

Chapters in this book not only trace the historical roots of digital art and education but also critically assess art, media, and other realms of engagement. By doing so, they encourage readers to embark on a thought-provoking exploration of the educational futures that may emerge in this post-digital, post-internet era. The book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, educators, artists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics between art, technology, and education in the 21st century.

As we navigate this rapidly changing landscape, it is essential to engage in open dialogue and critical reflection to shape the future of art and education. By embracing the possibilities and challenges posed by the post-digital and post-internet era, we can create a more inclusive, innovative, and dynamic educational landscape that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.
