SOLO AI AWARD, organised by SOLO, invites global artists and creators to investigate the convergences between contemporary creative practices and artificial intelligence.
SOLO AI ‘25 AWARD invites artistic and speculative exploration of the cognitive and epistemological implications of interacting with the foundational models, embedded systems and multimodal architectures of generative artificial intelligences. In the face of discourses that polarise the human and the machine as opposing entities, it can be recognised that AI beyond being understood as a simple tool, implies in itself a logical re-organisation that leads us to interrogate new ways of not only sensing the world, but also of sense-making and orientation in a present that requires new frameworks of thought.
The third edition of the prize seeks to encourage projects that reflect on these new infrastructures of meaning, constructing artistic artefacts from perspectives and imaginaries that work on new ways of thinking in order to confront the contemporary world.
The selected project will be presented in one of the SOLO exhibition spaces in Madrid at the end of 2025.
This international call, focusing on digital art and new media, will award the sum of 10,000 EUR for the production of an artistic project to be presented at one of its venues. The exhibition design and any decision to adapt the work to the exhibition space will be taken jointly by SOLO’s curatorial team and the winner. For this purpose, an endowment of up to 5,000 EUR will be allocated. SOLO will cover the travel, accommodation and living expenses related to the artist’s presence at the public presentation of the work.
