Kunstsilo will host a curated seminar programme of three artist-led panel discussions, inspired by the themes identified in The Liminal Review, :New Signals in Arts Technologies, the Lumen Prize’s inaugural trend report, launched this autumn in partnership with Sónar+D and supported by Onassis ONX. Developed from over 2,200 submissions to the 2025 Prize, the report identified three critical thematic signals which now serve as the conceptual backbone of the weekend’s talks, panels, and commissioned artworks.
While full speaker details will be announced closer to the date, each session will explore topics drawn directly from the 2025 finalist pool:
- Living Facades – Eco-Data, Growth & the Anthropocene How artists are using live data, invasive species, and ecological metaphors to make visible the invisible consequences of environmental change.
- Signals from the Future – Launching The Liminal Review A deep dive into the 2025 trend report and the role of digital art in shaping posthuman rituals, speculative memory, and machinic mythologies.
- Owning the Machine – IP & Authorship in the Age of AI A conversation on evolving notions of authorship, curatorial stewardship, and the legal futures of non-human collaboration.
The seminar will be in english.
