Virtualia, vol. 3, n. 1 (2026)

Virtualia Magazine is a quarterly publication from the Philosophy Department of the Federal University of Ouro Preto, developed in collaboration with the laboratories GIFLABS & KRYPTOLAB, dedicated to exploring the intersections of art, technology, philosophy, and decentralized culture. Focused on themes such as Web3, cryptoart, computational thought, and the social impact of emerging technologies, the new issue (vol. 3, n. 1, 2026) examines how digital infrastructures are reshaping power, creativity, and knowledge production. These works present Virtualia as a platform for critical reflection on how code, art, and philosophy converge to shape new forms of governance, identity, and collective imagination in the evolving techno-cultural landscape.

Among the highlights are the contributions of:

Guilherme Araújo Cardoso (UFOP), who investigates the limits of logic and the possibility of impossible truths based on his LIT (Logic of Impossible Truths) model;

Rodrigo Cid (UFOP), who proposes a defense of intuition as a legitimate philosophical tool in the face of contemporary challenges;

Pedro Caetano (UFOP), who presents computational philosophy as a new modality of philosophical practice;

Daniel Filipe Farinha (University of Saint Joseph, Macau), who articulates logic, power, and culture based on technological transformations;

Vanessa Ameneyro (Wait & Hope Foundation), who discusses syncretism as a key to the integration between digital art and physical presence;

Fer Caggiano (independent artist), who reflects on the maturation of NFTs from the closure of platforms and the resumption of authorship;

Katia Suzue (journalist and researcher), who narrates the trajectory of the Marmita Solidária project and its decentralized logic;

Ras Junior (artist and independent researcher), who proposes decentralization as a practice of freedom and ancestral preservation;

Vitor Gripp (writer and researcher), who authored two fundamental texts: a reflection on the political dimension of all logical choice and the preface to the NFT edition of Matzatea;

Vecelina Minkovski (poet), who concludes the edition with a poetic intervention on the logic of music and the resistance of art.
