Oct 14, 2024

Two Days Left of "Featuring Future: Pathfinders of Digital Art"

Hello friends,

What an incredible week it’s been for digital art in the UK! From our own Lumen Prize Award Ceremony to Frieze, London is quickly becoming one of the leading cities for digital art.

In just two days, bidding closes on our Anniversary Auction with Sotheby’s, Featuring Future: Pathfinders of Digital Art. All proceeds will go toward supporting the 2025 Lumen Prize, so please share this with your wider network and community.

Curated by Auronda Scalera and Alfredo Cramerotti, this auction showcases works by 15 pioneering digital artists, including Lumen finalists and winners. Many of these artists are debuting on-chain works for the first time, and we extend a huge thank you to each of them for generously donating their art.
