There is the right for artists to claim copyright but due to the nature of the digital environment, but inevitably works will be spread through digital platforms. I think in most cases the permission and authorization of the artist come first. Especially in public occasions (for example SNS posts), the copyright owner should be given the power to either remove or directly label the work.
Similarly, an artist who uses information such as photos, voice, and private information should gain the permission of the source of the data: in other words, artworks shouldn’t do any unauthorized exploitation.
Another issue with artworks that are based less on private subjects but on a public scale is biasness. Digital networks being the core of globalization, the audience and viewers of the digital work would be more diverse. There would be a huge variety of ways for different people from different backgrounds to understand the works. Artist should be aware of this and make the effort to research/pre-educate themselves with as much culture, history, and social differences; digital artworks have the benefit of exposure but there is the responsibility to take more care in problems such as biases.
