For the first time, MUTEK Forum welcomes The Lumen Prize as a partner, celebrating the Prize's 15th anniversary.

Founded in 2012, The Lumen Prize is the world's leading award for art created with technology, championing artists who push the boundaries of creative practice through digital and emerging media. Notable past winners include MORAKANA, Sasha Stiles, Navid Navab, Sougwen Chung, and Refik Anadol.

In this special session, a 2026 finalist will give a keynote on their practice and the project submitted to the Prize, ahead of the winners announcement in November. To open the session, Lumen Prize Chief Creative Officer Erin Thompson will introduce the Prize and its legacy.

The finalist featured in this session will be announced closer to the Forum, once this year's Lumen Prize finalists are revealed.

Please note: this activity will be in English, with live transcription available.
