Today we live in the age of synthetic technologies, the age of disruptive technologies. Syntheticity is the new vector: synthetic algorithms; synthetic virtual realities; synthetic intelligences. The driving force behind synthetic art is now: 1) the fusion of new artistic expression and technological innovation, and 2) the inter-creativity between the artist and artificial creativity.
