In an increasingly virtual present, we are living through a time of challenges shaped by media heterotopia. The digital world is altering our choices, questioning our hierarchy of priorities and values, and offering us the possibility of becoming integral participants in our own existential reality. In this issue, Lithuanian art
historians, philosophers, and cultural researchers discuss the opportunities opened by innovation and possible collaboration with artificial intelligence. They are joined by self-taught artists such as Iranian artist Samaneh Atef, who previously studied computer engineering, as well as a Peruvian shaman and a Canadian Inuk hunter-turned-artist.

We find ourselves at a crossroads of values: How can we preserve our originality, creative orientations, and capacity for critical reflection in the non-virtual reality?

Contributing cultural researchers and artists: Samaneh Atef, Naglis Kardelis, Lisa Robertson, Rita Repšienė, Luis Camnitzer, Antanas Mockus, Eglė Elena Murauskaitė, Pablo Amaringo, Vytautas Rubavičius, Margarita Matulytė and Pudlo Pudlat.
