This paper proposes a hermeneutic model for digital art practice, developed through a comprehensive review and reflection on a cross-disciplinary performance project that integrates digital technology, visual art, and classical music. The project centered on the visualization of René Magritte’s artworks within a live concert setting, employing digital technologies not as spectacle, but as subtle and flexible mediators that could bridge artistic disciplines. While the musical compositions were pre-selected and the visual references predetermined, the central challenge of the project lay in the interpretive task: how to deeply understand both media to enable meaningful technological mediation and construct a coherent and immersive experience for the audience.
This study translates the praxeological insights from our collaborative creative process into a hermeneutic model designed to inform and inspire future cross-disciplinary artistic practices. By emphasizing the interpretation of distinct layers – elementary, semiotic, rhetorical, contextual, and speculative – the model enables artists and designers to articulate a shared metaphorical framework across disciplines. This layered approach offers a vocabulary through which technology, music, and visual art can engage in mutual dialogue during the compositional process. In parallel, the hermeneutic framework is positioned as a philosophical response to issues of authenticity in digital art. As digital reproduction and AI-generated media increasingly permeate artistic domains, questions surrounding meaning, authorship, and originality demand new theoretical grounding. Our model argues that, through thoughtful, critical, and creative interpretation, even technologically mediated works – such as reproductions or reinterpretations – can retain or generate philosophical and aesthetic depth. Rather than diminishing authenticity, digital media, when guided by reflective hermeneutic practice, can serve to extend the expressive potential of traditional art forms in ways that remain conceptually grounded and artistically coherent.
