The LDF distinguished itself by prioritizing immersive experiences. Visitors were invited to step away from traditional canvases and engage directly with installations utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR). The exhibited works spanned a spectrum of subjects, from ecological distress and climate change to explorations of fluid identity in the age of constant connectivity. It was a potent demonstration that digital art is not a niche novelty but a powerful, necessary medium for critical social commentary.
