This new initiative by FILE intends, besides the exhibition and presentation of works, to add value to such manifestations, conferring to the awarded artists a national and international impact. Seeking to escape and transform the elitist traditional white cube artistic environment FILE PAI was created to approach a wider public, the first FILE PAI had as stage the Paulista Avenue, the main Sao Paulo street. ” In digital arts there is not distinction, in their use, between learning and fruition-interaction. This guarantees the return of the public, the wider public, not only the elites, to the world of arts, in an unprecedented volume, that can only be worked out in a more effective way in the contemporary world with public strategies of digital interaction” (Barreto, Ricardo-210) http://www.filepai.org/sobre.aspx.
