Liliana Farber, a graduate of the Bachelor of Graphic Design program, won the Lumen Prize in the photography category for her work *Terram in aspectu*. The winners were announced on October 28, 2020.
The Lumen Prize is a global competition that has been recognizing art created with technology since 2012; it was founded by Lumen Art Projects, a nonprofit organization based in Wales, United Kingdom.
"Terram in aspectu " consists of a series of satellite photographs—generated by an artificial intelligence algorithm trained on Google Earth images—of non-existent islands that appeared on historical maps but were later found not to have existed.
In addition, his work was one of 34 selected in October 2020 for the 59th Margaret Whyte National Visual Arts Award, organized by Uruguay’s Ministry of Education and Culture. The works will be exhibited at the National Directorate of Culture’s Contemporary Art Space, where they will be evaluated for the award.
Farber will also participate in the exhibition *Cartographies: The Represented Territory*, which will take place at the Cabildo Museum in Montevideo on November 20, 2020.
Farber, who currently lives in New York, holds a Master of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design (New York, United States) and a Master’s degree in Advanced Art Studies from Beit Berl College (Israel).
