PAMM Digital Art Commissions – Inaugural Open Call Recipients

PAMM Digital Art Commissions is Pérez Art Museum Miami’s first public open call for art commissions, supporting twenty‑one experimental digital projects across South Florida, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the African Diaspora. Launched in 2025 and announced in June 2026, the inaugural cycle received more than 750 submissions from 50 countries, out of which 21 artists were selected through a multi‑stage review process led by PAMM staff and an external jury. Each recipient receives between 2,500 and 15,000 USD, together with resources and production support, to realise new digital artworks by 2027.

The commissioned projects span video games, 3D models, net art, CGI films, AI‑driven animation, VR, 360‑degree video, generative video sculptures, and immersive installations, addressing questions of place, history, and digital space through the lenses of identity, migration, memory, and technological mediation. The cohort reflects the programme’s geographic and cultural scope, with 43 percent women artists, 24 percent Haitian or Haitian‑diaspora artists, and 14 percent based in South Florida. Featured projects include Maksaens Denis’s interactive installation combining Haitian Vodou archives, queer testimonies, algorithmic images, and metal‑cut structures from the Village of Noailles; Nestor Siré’s digital sculpture series NULL PRODUCT, focused on gaming computers built under material scarcity in Latin America and the Caribbean; Angy de la Rosa’s open‑access archive of Afro‑Caribbean 3D objects and environments; and Unkle Luc’s MIAMI 2006 video series merging archival footage and AI animation to explore South Florida’s spiritual landscape.

Over the coming year, PAMM will support the development and realization of these twenty-one digital projects through 2027, as part of a broader effort to test new institutional models for commissioning and presenting time-based and AI-driven art.
