Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the changing role and place of visual art in present-day cyberculture. Several opinions of culture and art researchers (David Bell, Paul Virilio, Ryszard W. Kluszczynski, Pierre Levy, Norbert Bolz, Walter Benjamin and Jean Baudrillard) concerning cyberculture, electronic media art and digital aesthetics are presented, in order to propose an approach which is the most suitable for the description of the recent transformations in art. Though in this country the process of IT adaptation to the art sector is quite slow, the interest of young artists in new media, especially the net and multimedia, is increasing. Every year new non-governmental organisations appear dealing with contemporary art. Galleries and art centres in the main towns are becoming open to innovative projects and festivals. Step by step, art is becoming a part of cyberculture by obtaining new functions and adopting new aesthetics.
