ABOUT

CyberEmapthy is multidisciplinary academic magazine open for scientists of all fields. CyberEmpathy creates connections among art, natural science and humanities through new media. The magazine is devoted to the latest trends of art and scientific discoveries. It consists of exploring visual communication through images, new media, and  all kinds of design. What we aim for is to understand as a new way of human life - a life enriched through the influences of technology and virtual reality.

We publish many types of manuscripts: scholarly articles, reviews, essays, polemics, and reports of empirical studies. At the same time, we commence research in the fields of science and art through graphic design, design space, architecture, spatial objects, projects, communication and visual identity, operation theater, quasi-theatrical and multimedia, and the overall visual aspect of human existence.​

Additionally, we are interested in discovering and showing various interactions through the fields of perception: visual, mental, emotional or social. Our goal at CyberEmpathy is to provide a community to explore the seemingly endless, growing fields of digital art and design.
