Share Prize XVII
The aim of the 2025 edition, “Tomorrow Now: The Art of 2050 AD,” is to investigate the future by placing it as an element of the present. Futuristic speculation, carried out through the joint efforts of the artistic direction, the jury, and finally the selected artists, has brought together works of art that may be similar to those that will be seen in 25 years. This is not a distant future, but when considered from a technological perspective, it could mean several changes: in the devices used, in ideas, in society, and in contemporary art itself.
The result is a mapping of tomorrow, today. The challenge has been taken up by a great many artists, as demonstrated by the more than three hundred entries received by the Prize this year. From this large number of submissions, the artistic direction and the jury selected the tech-art works that were able to look more precisely and further ahead.

Zemi
Maria Sappho2024, INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION
Zemi is a pressure-based carpet instrument that listens to gesture, weight, and memory. Named after the Taíno spirit-object, it reimagines the domestic surface as a living archive of diasporic stories, overlooked labours, and cultural traces.
Post-Tomorrowland's Morning Post
Michael Aschauer2025, POST-FICTIONAL NEWS PORTAL
The TomorrowLand Post is a hyper-local, automated news portal that transforms climate data into speculative newspaper-style narratives. Using language models and environmental projections, it envisions possible futures driven by science and algorithms, rather than fiction.
The Arquà Manuscript Tapestry
BGGB Studio2025, INSTALLATION
What would animals look like in the far future on Planet Earth, long after humanity has vanished? An imaginary journey in Time, ideally entrusted to Artificial Intelligence, which, just like pre-modern explorers of exotic lands, reports (more or less) reliable descriptions of what it finds on this unknown Earth.
Silicon Age
Maarten Vanden Eynde2016, SCULPTURE, SILICON INGOT
Silicon Age consists of a pure silicon ingot or boule, using a special process to obtain 99.99999% pure single crystals. The work alludes to the game-changing fact that by the start of the twenty-first century, the traditional chip circuitry made of silicon had become too microscopic to work reliably, ending both the infamous Moore’s Law and the unofficial silicon age at the same time.
We will definitely talk about this after the last air raid alert stops
Yuri Yefanov2024, VIDEO INSTALLATION
A utopia of a post-war city that launches a rewilding. Shot within a game simulation, it touches on culture and nature binaries and possibilities of dealing with environmental exploitation. “The program is an attempt to create a new society where the aims of people do not stand in the way of the aims of other people, trees, rivers, chipmunks, mushrooms…”
Rage/
When the Hawk
Comes
Katherina Sadovsky and Lilia Li-Mi-Yan2023, VIDEO INSTALLATION
Rage is an experimental video work in which the artist explores the interaction of Soviet architecture and mass culture as tools of military and political propaganda.
When The Hawk Comes is a sad, poetic metaphor for what is happening in the world today. The plot and melody of an Armenian lullaby are taken as a starting point.
