Lumen Prize Community Takeover in Barcelona

June 13th, Sónar+D Festival

This summer, The Lumen Prize is heading to Barcelona ✈️👋😎 — we’re partnering with our friends at the iconic Sónar+D festival to launch a bold new community activation that puts digital artists and innovators at the center of the conversation.

Sónar+D is where music, technology, and forward-thinking creativity converge. More than a festival, it’s a dynamic space for dialogue, experimentation, and exchange—bringing together artists, designers, technologists, and thinkers from around the globe. The Lumen Prize and Sónar+D share a deep belief: that the future of art lies in the intersections—between disciplines, between people, between the tools we use and the worlds we build.

Sónar+D offers a global platform that elevates artistic voices within a multidisciplinary, high-energy environment. The Lumen Prize brings over a decade of championing art created with technology, with a growing network of visionary artists and cultural collaborators worldwide. Together, we’re creating a space where our community can connect, challenge, and reimagine what’s possible.

What’s Happening?

What’s really happening in the world of digital art? What trends are shaping the scene from the inside out—and how can artists stay ahead of the curve?

This summer, The Lumen Prize is taking over Sónar+D with a one-of-a-kind, 90-minute experience built for digital artists, curators, and cultural innovators. You’ll get unfiltered access to the insights shaping tomorrow’s creative landscape, straight from the prize that’s been spotlighting the world’s most exciting tech-driven art for over a decade.

This isn’t just a panel or a talk. It’s an ask-anything experience designed around the real questions the art world is asking right now.

Whether you're applying for the Lumen Prize, a member of the community, or just curious about where creative tech is heading—this is your backstage pass to The Art of What’s Next.
