Introducing The Hybrid Award
This week, we’re spotlighting an exciting new addition to the 2025 Lumen Prize: The Hybrid Award.
This category honours works that seamlessly merge the physical and digital realms.
From collaborative robotics and human performance to biotechnology that resurrects extinct scents, and AI-driven immersive constellations where each participant becomes a star—these groundbreaking works exist at the intersection where the digital and physical collide.
The artists featured in this video exemplify why this award was created: to celebrate innovation at the forefront of artistic evolution.
