The Pax Art Awards will be presented for the second time. This year's prize winners are the artist group knowbotiq and the artists Alan Bogana and Félicien Goguey Master Media Design 2015 graduate.

With the ground-breaking prizes for digital art, the Art Foundation Pax in collaboration with HeK honours media-specific practices of Swiss artists whose works use media technologies or reflect on their effects. This year the Pax Art Awards 2019 will honour the work of an established group of artists and two up-and-coming artists who have shaped the Swiss media art scene in recent years and will continue to do so in the future.

The prize money supports the artists in the production of a new work. In addition, an existing work will be purchased for the Art Foundation Pax collection. The works of the award winners purchased for the Art Foundation Pax collection will be exhibited during the award ceremony. In spring 2020, existing and new works by the three prize winners will be presented in an exhibition at HeK.
