Editorial Team

1. Our Recruitment Vision

Digital art and new media are inherently global, cross-cultural fields, and our editorial team reflects this diversity. We are actively recruiting members across all career stages — from early-career researchers to established scholars, practicing artists, and technology experts — to build an inclusive team that brings multiple perspectives to peer review and editorial decision-making. We particularly encourage applicants from underrepresented regions and backgrounds to apply, as we believe diverse voices strengthen the journal’s academic impact and relevance.
