Lumen Artists at
Art Basel Hong Kong
Zero 10
This March, Art Basel launches Zero 10 in Asia for the first time at Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, following its debut at Art Basel Miami Beach.
Zero 10 is Art Basel’s global initiative dedicated to art of the digital era, bringing together artists, galleries, and digital innovators working across code-based practice, algorithmic systems, immersive installation, robotics, light, sound, and AI.
For Lumen, it’s exciting to see familiar names from our wider ecosystem included in this programme, both artists and members of our International Selectors Committee. It’s a clear sign of how closely aligned the field has become: the same questions we see artists working through in the Prize are also shaping how major platforms like Art Basel are programming digital practice.
BottoDAO | Botto
Botto is a decentralized autonomous artist brought to life by Mario Klingemann (2018 Lumen Prize Gold Award Winner), generating work continuously and shaped by a community of 15,000+ contributors who influence its themes, style, and imagery. Exhibited internationally, Botto’s practice probes agency, authorship, and value in machine creativity.
Botto was a finalist for The 2022 Lumen Prize for ‘Blossoming Cadaver’.
Fellowship & ARTXCODE | Sougwen Chung
Sougwen 愫君 Chung is a Chinese-Canadian artist and researcher known for pioneering human–machine collaboration across drawing, performance, installation, and sculpture using robotics, machine learning, and bio-sensing. Their work MEMORY (Drawing Operations Unit: Generation_2) entered the V&A’s permanent collection, marking the first AI model acquired by a major cultural institution. Since 2015, Chung’s landmark Drawing Operations Unit series has explored co-authorship between human, machine, and environment, from robotic drawing and neural networks trained on years of data to biofeedback-driven performances.
Chung won the 2018 Lumen Prize Still Image Award for Drawing Operations.
√K Contemporary | Emi Kusano
Emi Kusano is a Tokyo-born multidisciplinary artist whose practice uses emerging technologies, including AI, to explore nostalgia, pop culture, and collective memory through a retro-futurist lens. Her work has been shown internationally at venues including M+ (Hong Kong), Saatchi Gallery (London), Grand Palais Immersif (Paris), and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. Kusano began as a teenage street photographer documenting Harajuku fashion culture, later exhibiting at the V&A, and is also the founder and lead singer of Satellite Young.
Kusano was a 2024 Lumen Prize finalist for ‘Neural Fad’ and ‘COGNITIVE CHAOS’.
Nguyen Wahed | Kim Asendorf
Kim Asendorf is a German visual artist who uses automation and algorithms to create abstract animations, images, and sculptures that define a distinctly digital-native aesthetic. He holds an MFA from Kunsthochschule Kassel and has exhibited internationally, including at Kunsthalle Zürich, transmediale Berlin, ZKM Karlsruhe, HEK Basel, The Photographers’ Gallery London, and Ars Electronica Center Linz.
Asendorf was a 2022 Lumen Prize finalist for ‘SABOTAGE’.
Dr Mimi Nguyen is a member of The Lumen Prize International Selectors Committee.
Office Impart | Jonas Lund
Jonas Lund works across painting, sculpture, photography, websites, and performance to examine networked systems, power, and the mechanisms of the art world. He builds rule-based structures that often require audience participation, probing authorship, agency, and how value is distributed in a digitised society. Lund holds an MA from the Piet Zwart Institute and has exhibited widely, with work in major public collections including Centre Pompidou and the Stedelijk Museum.
Lund was a 2023 Lumen Prize finalist for ‘The Future of Nothing’.
Zero 10 frames digital art as a core part of contemporary practice, work that moves between physical and digital worlds and asks serious questions about authorship, systems, labour, perception, and value.
It also supports a broader shift in the sector: digital work being experienced and collected within the same spaces as painting, sculpture, installation, and performance.
We’ll be following Zero 10 and sharing updates as the programme develops, including upcoming activations and news on the next Zero 10 programme at Art Basel Hong Kong.
As always, we’re proud to see Lumen’s community contributing to the conversation, artists expanding what technology can express, and what contemporary culture can recognise.
