What a weekend! A huge thank you to everyone who made the launch of The Liminal Review 2026 at @Tate Modern possible. Seeing so many members of the Lumen community come together to celebrate the breadth of art created with technology made this a particularly special moment for us. We are deeply grateful to our Jury member and event curator Annie Bicknell, and to the team at @Tate for bringing The Evolving Studio to life and creating such an incredible space for these practices and conversations. To our author, Dr @RachelMFalconer @GoldsmithsUoL, thank you for the insight and dedication that you brought to this work, and for your continued support for those in this ecosystem. Our thanks also go to Supporting Partner and Key Contributor: Onassis ONX, and to Prodromos Tsiavos for joining us in person for the launch and sharing his perspective during our panel conversation. To our Technology Partner @museframe, and especially Dyl, for proving the screens that enabled us to share our finalistsโ€™ work so beautifully throughout the day. It was a joy to welcome Lumen Prize Award Winners @CuteCircuit and @CaballeroAnaMa back to share their work, alongside our panellists and moderators @AlexEstorick, Marsha Bradford and Val Ravaglia, who brought so much to the dayโ€™s conversations. And finally, to every contributor who lent their voice to this yearโ€™s Review, and every artist who trusted us with their work: thank you. 2,225 submissions from 82 countries sit behind this research. This weekend gave us the opportunity to bring some of those ideas into the room and celebrate the community behind them. We'll be sharing more content from the day throughout the week so keep your eyes on our social channels for that. The Liminal Review 2026 is officially out in the world ๐Ÿ‘‡ lumenprize.org/the-liminal-rโ€ฆ Evolving Studio, @Tate Photographer: Guillaume Valli #LumenPrize #TheLiminalReview #TateModern #ArtAndTechnology #TLR26

โ€œI started out as a fashion designer, but I kept feeling like clothes could do more than just be worn. I wanted them to carry emotion, to create presence, to actually connect people rather than just cover them. The first question I asked myself was: how do you preserve human connection when people are far apart? That became the HugShirt, a garment that let you send the physical sensation of a hug over distance. Then I kept pulling on the same thread, and it became the SoundShirt, which translates sound into physical sensation across the whole body, so a deaf audience member and a hearing one can feel the same concert at the same time. I left stable work for this. Moved countries. Retrained myself to understand how to develop technology, because I wanted to build things rather than just talk about them. The hardest part wasn't any of that, though. It was watching large organisations benefit from my ideas and my visibility, while my role as the inventor got quietly reframed, as if I had simply executed someone else's vision. Years of research and personal sacrifice, and my name kept getting smaller. That was deeply discouraging. But it also made me much harder to move. The SoundShirt is now deployed at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Newcastle United, Lega Serie A, and others. TIME named it a Best Invention. I'm too curious to stop, and too excited about what comes next." @cutecircuit
