Dominique Brébion, editor of Faire monde(s) and Aica Caraïbe du Sud, describes the impact of digitalization on artistic documentation in the Caribbean.
The increased accessibility to artistic documentation thanks to the proliferation of blogs and specialized websites has been a decisive factor in the Caribbean region. Despite being doubly hindered by geographic and linguistic fragmentation and by an often mediocre regional press, the Caribbean has benefited from this phenomenon.

The benefits of what is commonly referred to as network criticism [la critique de réseau] have been significant. This approach has enabled artists and cultural managers to share their thoughts, experiences, and opinions on artistic issues, creating a more open and inclusive dialogue.
Network criticism has its particularities. For instance, it often involves the creation of online communities and forums, where artists and cultural managers can engage in discussions and share their work.
One of the advantages of network criticism is its ability to bypass traditional channels of artistic dissemination.
Another advantage is its ability to provide a platform for artists to express themselves freely, without the constraints of traditional criticism.
However, network criticism also has its challenges.
