Images, sensing systems, algorithms, and the infrastructures around them have become active participants in the world\u2013\u2013shaping decisions, identities, cultures, and histories. As an artist, I&#8217;m interested in exploring new forms of vision and imagining alternative ways of seeing. I&#8217;m honored to receive this award from LG and the Guggenheim, and grateful for their commitment to artists working at the intersection of art, science, and technology,&#8221; said Paglen, 2026 LG Guggenheim Award recipient.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are honored to present the 2026 LG Guggenheim Award to <span class=\"xn-person\">Trevor Paglen<\/span>, an artist whose work reflects the very questions we ask ourselves at LG.

Drawing on sustained engagements with landscape renderings, advanced technologies, and the history of photography, he reveals how power, secrecy, and surveillance influence what we see\u2013\u2013and what remains unseen\u2013\u2013within digital systems.<\/p>\n<p>Paglen&#8217;s work examines the formation and construction of digital images, investigating the evolving machinic apparatus of digitally constructed images.

Over previous decades, his work has explored the liminal space of digital photography, interrogating the structures of seeing through questions of visibility, perception, and lens-based technologies. With the emergence of large language models and contemporary AI systems, Paglen&#8217;s practice has expanded to engage deeply with advanced data analytics, computer vision, and the underlying architectures that shape our modes of perception.<\/p>\n<p>Looking beyond art and culture alone, Paglen examines the power structures surrounding mass technologies and the exchanges they facilitate\u2013\u2013between cultural myths, national narratives, and deeply embedded social assumptions. His engagement with advanced technologies extends beyond discrete forms of artificial intelligence, probing instead the future implications and latent potentials of neural and computational systems. Through this work, Paglen carefully interrogates the forces that &#8216;produce our reality,&#8217; simultaneously challenging the limits of human perception while rendering invisible structures visible.<\/p>\n<p>Paglen&#8217;s sustained commitment to addressing urgent global concerns\u2013\u2013through rigorous artistic research, technological subversion, intellectual risk-taking, and engagement with universal subject matter\u2014has resulted in a coherent and highly distinctive artistic oeuvre. His works consistently bring legibility and public access to opaque and often inaccessible technologies, while resisting dominant corporate narratives and foregrounding broader societal and ethical considerations.
