Mapping new signals in digital art

Now in its 14th year, The Lumen Prize has launched The Liminal Review, a major editorial initiative exploring how artists are using technology to rewrite memory, ritual, and cultural meaning. The Review marked a shift from prize platform to thought leader, with a new visual and editorial identity to match.

We worked with The Lumen Prize and Sónar+D to shape a voice that could carry weight, both conceptually and visually. The identity was built around the idea of blur: a response to the liminal spaces the report explores. This concept informed the type, texture, and layout, evoking shifting boundaries between memory, machine, and myth.

Rooted in clarity and conceptual depth, the new design system frames The Liminal Review as both a field guide and a curatorial statement, mapping the emotional, ecological, and technological forces shaping digital art today.
