description The article studies the changes in contemporary art practices within the framework of metamodernism, which combines modernism and postmodernism while introducing new sensibilities shaped by digital technologies and the Internet era. The aim of the study is to explore how metamodern sensibilities rethink audiovisual art practices, emphasizing the interaction between technology, culture, and human perception. The research draws on several methods, including comparative historical analysis, systemic typology, semiotics, hermeneutics, and an anthropological approach. This allows for an in-depth exploration of art practices across various media, including film, music, and sound art. Case studies, including Ariel Guzikʼs and Jana Winderenʼs experimental sound works and the net art project Pandemic Media Space, demonstrate how metamodern sensibility fosters new artistic engagement, blending digital and natural elements, promoting participatory culture, and decentralizing authorship. It was concluded that metamodernism deeply transforms contemporary art, dissolving boundaries between real and virtual, artist and audience, technology and nature. It promotes a multifaceted, polyphonic approach to art that reflects the complex sensibilities of the Internet era, encouraging new modes of self-expression and cultural understanding.
