Highlights from Day 2
Arab Bank Switzerland Digital Art Prize : Winner Announcement
Gretchen Andrew is the winner of the ABS Digital Art Prize 2026 with the work Facetune Portraits: Universal Beauty Vietnam. Congratulations!
“Gretchen Andrew’s work is timely in its examination of social and power systems and their permutations. Andrew unpacks the layers of beauty standards pressed upon us, specifically as young women. The physical delivery combines a complex system of technical research and digital tools to produce something both beautiful and visceral. Through cuts and layers of paint, she exposes what social media so often hides or subverts, revealing the manufactured perfections that lurk behind so many of the images we encounter.’’
— Abigail Miller, Jury Member, ABS Digital Art Prize 2026
Meebits Fútbol Announcement
Collector Adam Weitsman has acquired the remaining 805 Meebits from the historic Larva Labs collection.

Hash Gallery: Balloons In The Sky
Hash Gallery made its NFC Summit debut with Balloons In The Sky, a generative installation by Bård and Jennifer Ionson premiering at Unicorn Factory Lisboa.
