This is a timeline of digital art in Malta. It was created in combination with the research exhibition Remembering the Future: Digital Art in Malta (1989-2019) curated by Vince Briffa and Toni Sant for DRHA 2018, held at Spazju Kreattiv in Valletta in September 2018.
In essence, in this a working list and not intended as a comprehensive timeline of digital art in Malta. It stems from a research project intended to capture as many memories as possible of digital art created and/or presented in Malta over time.
1980s
The earliest digital art in Malta arguably appeared in the form of MIDI and electronic synthesizer compositions. Collecting this is potentially a separate timeline in itself.
1989
- Mill-Garaxx opening credits and link for TVM by Chris Agius and Mike Rizzo.
1990s
ASCII art was certainly present in Malta during the 1990s, especially after the introduction of domestic internet access in 1996. There are no known works of ASCII art from Malta that have been preserved.
1997
