Collaborating to find beauty in Artificial Intelligence (AI), selected CSM students are to be awarded the Honor Art prize, which is an award given for a piece of final degree work that celebrates the innovative use of colour and technology in artistic practice. This year, the inaugural prize was awarded to MA Fine Art student Marco Pantaleoni for his series of works in 3D scanning, photography and painting. Receiving his award, Marco said: “I feel honoured to be awarded this prize. Technology is an essential part of my practice, so to be recognised by a technology brand like Honor, not only reinforces some of the concepts behind my work, it also really resonates with the way I create.”

Stephen Beddoe, the Director of External Relations, Central Saint Martins stated, “It’s been a pleasure for our creative students to work with Honor during the Central Saint Martins Graduate Degree Shows this year. Our students, who come to us from all over the world, are talented, individual and always pushing the boundaries with their art and design work, as well as their own self-expression. They are brave in all aspects of their creative lives. The powerful technology and beautiful design of the Honor 10 has allowed our students to make new work, and record and broadcast their creative process to the world.”

The first was the advanced AI 2.0 technology, applied chiefly to the smartphone’s dual camera. The second was the Honor 10 CMF[1]design, a 3D glass back with a stunning nano-scale optical coating composed of 15 layers of shimmering colour. Over one million Honor 10 phones were sold within one month of its initial launch in China and one week after the global launch in London.
