الوصف: This paper examines "Art, History and Digitality" in their interrelation by showcasing the technological and cultural dynamics of the mirror as artwork and the phenomenon of mirroring. In the Introduction, we interrogate definitions of digital art as part of art history to be launched in the age of art democratisation and media–archaeology. In the main part, I focus on the case of the digital artwork The Moon is A Mirror (2014) by Scott Hessels by venturing a multidisciplinary interpretation and analysis via ancient Greek aesthetics drawn upon Parmenides’ “Heliophotism”, Lucian’s Moon as a Mirror and Plato’s The Cave Myth, digital archaeology, as well as Gustav Klimt’s art of painting in the fin-de-siècle Vienna. Instead of a conclusion, I reflect on the contemporariness of Nature and its physical materials transformed into the new socio-economic essentials in the newly built world.
