Arab Bank Switzerland presents a thematic exhibition SYSTEMS, held in conjunction with the 2026 ABS Digital Art Prize.
On view during @NFCsummit, June 4-6, 2026, Fábrica de Moagem, Unicorn Factory, Lisbon
‘End of Signal’, the exhibition of @DrawingMoving, winner of the SOLO AI ‘25 AWARD, opens at SOLO CSV on 11 June.
Through satellite imaging, speculative narration and machine perception, the project explores contemporary regimes of observation and the unstable relationship between data, truth, uncertainty and lived experience.

"End of Signal is a new extended project I’m working on about a satellite that becomes an unreliable narrator of on-the-ground reality.
One piece within the project—what I’m working on at the moment—is my first digital simulation that isn’t built in a game engine but rather through an AI model, a fine-tuned diffusion model. I’d been looking at phantom islands, places from the history of cartography that were discovered and then had to be undiscovered, because they didn’t actually exist, but persisted on maps for decades or centuries before being removed. They felt like highly relevant precedents for the unreliable satellite."

For the first time, the Digital Art Prize unfolds as a thematic exhibition format — bringing works from the ABS collection into dialogue with the three finalists of the prize.
Artists presented in this year’s SYSTEMS exhibition include
Kim Asendorf (@kimasendorf), Viktoria Binschtok, Jack Butcher (@jackbutcher), Linda Dounia (@LindaDouniaR), Andreas Gysin (@andreasgysin), Larva Labs (@larvalabs), Cezar Mocan (@CezarMocan), Operator (@operator_______ ), Helena Sarin (@NeuralBricolage), and Paul Seidler (@brachlandberlin).
Worldbuilding as a sensing system: a satellite network that starts to lose its authority.

Interview notes ↓
Currently at @office_impart: "drifts;" brings together @DrawingMoving - winner of the ABS Digital Art Prize 2025 (Emerging Artist) - alongside @yoshi_sodeoka and @yehwanyensong in an exhibition that treats reality not as a fixed ground, but as a shifting constellation of infrastructures, codes, sensations, and temporalities.
Technological systems intersect with biological flows, social relations, and lived experience, forming dense layers that continually reshape how the world is perceived. 🔄

“A Field Guide to Orbital Melancholy” — @DrawingMoving — new digital simulation, premiering in drifts;.
It follows a distributed satellite system trying to account for the disappearance of a toxic lake—producing overlapping, conflicting versions of what it observes.

very grateful to have a thinker like @aldmilne writing at @lerandomart about one of my favorite topics:
world building with novel applications of AI and blockchain in art
exactly 10 years ago i used my custom softbody physics system in unity to make a digital valentines day card for a girlfriend and she got really mad at me and she was like "youre just using it as an excuse to work on your custom softbody physics system"

🎙️ In a new episode of Unlocked podcast, we welcome @aval0vara, curator & researcher at @onkaos__@coleccion_solo.
We discussed the pressure of platforms and algorithms, the art of exhibiting code-based works in physical spaces, and why time, context, and care matter just as much as technology.
If you care about where digital art is actually heading, beyond tools and hype, this episode is essential.

Don't miss this amazing show!!! Congrats @office_impart and @DrawingMoving.
'A Field Guide to Orbital Melancholy' will be on display at SOLO CSV with @onkaos__ this spring.

Teapot, iPhone, diverse materials (38 × 38 × 48 cm) — a work addressing how online interaction becomes digital labour: energy diverted into automated processes rather than back to the user.
