contest

The 2025 edition of the New Technological Art Award, themed “Intelligence, it’s Automatic”, has officially wrapped up. Once again, the contest brought together hundreds of artists and creators from around the world, each pushing the boundaries of digital art and emerging technologies.

The selected works explored the growing presence of AI, automation, and algorithmic thinking in our lives, reflecting the rich diversity and complexity of artistic responses to today’s technological landscape.

Over the course of three months, thousands of visitors engaged with 48 digital artworks: 26 selected through the competition, and 22 curated to trace a century of digital creation.

This year’s featured artists included:
So Kanno & Akihiro Kato & Takemi Watanuki, Ralf Baecker, Richard Vijgen, Obvious, Dave Murray-Rust, Karsten Schühl, Pietro Catarinella, Alfred Cassels, Kexin Liu, Adam Basanta, Timothy Thomasson, Stéphanie Roland, Seph Li, Thomas Marcusson, Greg Marshall, Neil Mendoza, Robin Mandel, Jürgen Buchinger, Jeroen Van Loon, Jeroen Cluckers, Stanislava Pinchuk, Lukas Zerbst, Matthew Biederman, Guangli Liu, Cy Lixe, and Auguste Orts.

We thank all participating artists, our curators Thierry Dufrêne and Jean-Marie Dallet, the jury, and our enthusiastic visitors for making this edition of NTA so memorable.
