About Lumen

Celebrating Art and Technology

The Lumen Prize champions the innovative possibilities of technology-driven creativity. We provide the pre-eminent platform showcasing artists who are pioneering new visual languages at the intersection of art and technology. Lumen is affiliated with Lumen Studios, a UK-based digital arts champion which builds opportunities for Lumen artists by curating exhibitions, commissions and events for art venues, cultural institutions and public spaces around the world as well as delivering consultancy services for partners globally.

Following a move to Wales, Carla founded the Lumen Prize for Art and Technology in 2012. In 2018, she founded Lumen Art Projects, which provides exhibitions, commissions and events for partners globally using the Lumen Prize artist network.
