At the Sorbonne, digital art turns to artificial intelligence for Nuit Blanche 2026.

OPLINEPRIZE International’s 18th edition will take place on June 6, 2026, as part of Nuit Blanche at the Richelieu Amphitheatre of the Sorbonne in Paris.
The awards ceremony will focus on digital art and generative artificial intelligence, offering an exploration of AI’s role in contemporary creation.
The event, free to attend, will feature three awards: the Public Prize, the Curators’ Prize, and the New Media Jury Prize, chaired by artist Yann Toma.
A key theme for this edition is “AI: Generative-Generation”, addressing the evolution of creation in the digital era and the interactions between humans and machines.
The public can participate in selecting the winner of the Public Prize through an online vote from May 1 to May 31, 2026.
The ceremony aims to illustrate how AI is not just a technical topic but a source of creativity and a lens to understand contemporary artistic narratives.
The event will bring state-of-the-art digital practices to a historically academic setting, emphasizing the collaborative nature of art, audience, and digital tools in modern creativity.
This special edition of OPLINEPRIZE marks its continuation as a leading platform for digital contemporary art, engaging an international audience and fostering dialogue around innovative and speculative art forms.
