This article seeks to adapt and validate the concept of ecosystem as an expanded analogy representing the relationships between the agents of the social, cultural and artistic system involved in the creation, research, exhibition, enjoyment, experimentation, education and socio-economic integration of digital media art. It also aims to show the anachronism of the virtual/material dichotomy, proposing a blended (hybrid) reality and exploring the mechanisms of individual, artistic and intellectual emancipation in the universe of digital media art. It further seeks to show how the relationships between the various agents of the ecosystem have themselves become blended, leading to the creation of b-ecosystems in a b-society.
