With this exhibition the Center departed from the tradition of gallery and theme exhibitions with its jubilee exhibition. The exhibition focused on the problems of digital culture. The rapidly developing media environment was considered, noting the new possibilities it offers to artists and philosophers. Answers to the questions how can art come about in media space and does art have sufficient prerequisites and liberty for that emergence were sought. Artists from Eastern and Central Europe participated in the exhibition on the one hand with projects from the history of video art (1970's- 1980's), and on the other hand with contemporary media art projects. The exhibition took place in the Rotermann's Salt Storage, Vaal Gallery, Draakon Gallery, Sammas Gallery, the Gallery of the Estonian Academy of Arts and its cyber café, and at the National Museum of Estonia in Tartu. Artists participating in the 5th annual exhibition: a) guest artists: Sanja Ivekovic (Croatia), Gleb Katchuk (Ukraine), Damijan Kracina (Slovenia), Maksim Mamsikov (Russia), Dalibor Martinis (Croatia), Gia Rigvava (Russia), Mikhail Ryklin (Russia), Arsen Savadov (Ukraine), b) from Estonia: Ando Keskküla, Jan J.Graps, Maria Kruus, Pier Li, F.F.F.F.
