WINNER
“AMALGAM”
2026
We are delighted to announce the AI/CC Curatorial Selection, made by Nina Sabina Caballero, Creative Director & Leader of AI/CC, from the artists participating in the CLUSTER exhibition AMALGAM.
Reflecting the dialogue between material and immaterial forms of contemporary adornment at the heart of AMALGAM, Nina selected five artists from the Physical Showcase and five from the Digital Showcase:
Physical Showcase
Digital Showcase
The selection considered a range of interconnected criteria, including conceptual strength, originality and artistic voice, aesthetic and visual excellence, the relationship between adornment and the body, and the ways in which each practice expands contemporary jewellery through material, sculptural, technological and speculative approaches.
For the Digital Showcase in particular, the selection considered how technology contributes meaningfully to each artistic proposition, enabling new interpretations of adornment rather than functioning solely as a tool for production.
The final selection brings together a diverse range of practices and perspectives, reflecting the breadth of AMALGAM and its exploration of materiality, craftsmanship, technology, the body and the future of contemporary adornment.
As part of the AI/CC Curatorial Selection, all ten selected artists will be featured across AI/CC’s channels, introducing their work to AI/CC’s global community of creators and audiences interested in the intersection of art, technology and culture. AI/CC’s mission is to feature artists globally and contribute to the future of art through generative AI, while placing human vision at the centre of technological experimentation.
Congratulations to our artists on this recognition, and thank you to AI/CC for engaging with the exhibition and its artists through this curatorial selection.
