ABS Digital Art Prize 2024

Launched on January 15th under the theme: “Journey(s) in Art: Pushing the Boundaries”, a three-month selection process culminated in 400+ applications and an incredibly diverse pool of finalists shortlisted by our jury. The artists and their pieces, styles, journeys, mediums and stories they carry embody innovation and reflect the various paths around arts one can have.

The winner, RVIG with his piece “Les Fleurs du Mal”, was announced at the Non-Fungible Conference 2024, where we also celebrated the shortlisted pieces with a dedicated exhibition at the ABS Artists’ Villa.

Les Fleurs du Mal

A collection of generative art pieces draws inspiration from Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal, translating the essence of its 126 poems into evolving ribbons that mimic the structure of the poetry. Each ribbon moves independently, driven solely by the shape and construct of the words, orchestrating a poetic dance between the individual pieces of the book.
