Trevor Paglen's Art Showcased in Global City Centers... LG Guggenheim Award Winner

Screenings on Billboards in New York, London, and Seoul
Landscapes Perceived from an AI Perspective
Celebratory Video Showcasing Paglen's Artistic Vision

The artistic vision of Trevor Paglen, the 2026 recipient of the LG Guggenheim Award, is being showcased in the heart of major cities around the world, including New York, London, and Seoul.

On April 13, LG announced that a video celebrating Trevor Paglen, this year's award winner, will be screened on the LG billboards at Times Square in New York, Piccadilly Circus in London, and Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul. Produced by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, this year's video visualizes Paglen's artistic philosophy by depicting landscapes as perceived from the perspective of artificial intelligence (AI), a theme central to his work.

The three cities where the celebratory video is being screened are all key locations in which Paglen has actively pursued his artistic career. Based in New York, the American-born artist has exhibited at venues such as the Barbican Centre and Tate Modern in London. In Korea, he strengthened his connection with the local art scene by receiving the Nam June Paik Art Center International Art Award in 2018, and now, as this year's LG Guggenheim Award recipient, those ties have grown even deeper.

At Times Square in New York, the video will be shown for eight weeks starting April 6, while at Piccadilly Circus in London and Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, it will be screened for five weeks beginning April 13.

Now in its fourth year, the LG Guggenheim Award is the central program of the "LG Guggenheim Art and Technology Initiative," a partnership between LG and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The award supports artists who achieve groundbreaking creative innovation through technology, granting a prize of 100,000 dollars and a trophy to encourage their continued pursuit of new challenges.

This year’s recipient, Paglen, has visualized the power structures and surveillance systems embedded in AI and digital technologies through photography, video, and sculpture. Even prior to the LG Guggenheim Award, he was recognized as a leading media artist, having received the MacArthur Fellowship in 2017 for his creativity and potential. His works are part of prestigious collections worldwide, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
