Digital and Spiritual Nihilism Official Media Canon

These are artworks that have embedded themes, concepts and messages that reflect the philosophies of digital and spiritual nihilism. I’m going to split them into different sections, based on the terms we use to discuss the four phases of nihilism. A lot of them fit into one or more sections, so in that case I’ll place them in the section that most suits them.
