全球共乘與外送服務公司Uber在AWS上擴展其即時基礎設施，加速運作每日數百萬次乘車和外送服務 

• Graviton4和Trainium3是Amazon為運算和AI訓練客製化設計的晶片。
• Uber使用AWS Graviton4在毫秒內配對乘客與駕駛。
• Uber試用AWS Trainium3以建立更快速、更智慧的AI預測和模型。
• 在AWS上擴展Trip Serving Zones（行程服務區域），協助處理乘車和外送的需求高峰。

【台北訊，2026年4月8日】Uber是全球最大的共乘和按需外送公司，正在運用Amazon Web Services（AWS）擴展其基礎設施和人工智慧（AI）能力。Uber使用AWS Graviton執行個體來支援更多Trip Serving Zones，這是每次乘車和外送背後的即時基礎設施，並已開始在Trainium上試行訓練部分AI模型，實現更快速的乘客與外送配對、全球需求處理，並為每日數百萬用戶提供更智慧、更個人化的體驗。

每當您開啟Uber叫車或叫外送時，背後會發生一連串的瞬間決策：哪位駕駛最近？最快的路線是什麼？實際抵達需要多長時間？要同時為數百萬人即時且正確地回答這些問題，需要完善的基礎設施，讓Uber能在尖峰時段和大型活動期間大規模地提供這些服務。

Graviton如何即時支援數百萬次行程

Uber的Trip Serving Zones系統能確保每次乘車和外送順利運作，需要在毫秒內進行數百萬次預測並處理定位資訊。

Uber正在擴大使用AWS運算、儲存和網路服務，以支援Trip Serving Zones的即時運作。透過在AWS Graviton上執行更多工作負載，Uber可以降低能源消耗，同時快速擴展，以滿足需求高峰，進而減少延遲並最佳化成本。Graviton的高效能可支援部分即時運算，有助於更快速地將乘客與駕駛進行配對，同時兼顧可靠性、可用性與安全性。

Uber工程副總裁Kamran Zargahi表示：「Uber的運作規模讓每毫秒都很重要，將更多Trip Serving工作負載移至AWS，讓我們能更靈活地加速配對乘客與駕駛，並在外送需求高峰時，依然保持系統運行不中斷。」

使用AWS Trainium晶片大規模改善Uber乘車體驗

Uber也開始試用AWS Trainium來訓練支援其應用程式的部分AI模型。這些模型透過分析數十億次乘車和外送資料，決定派遣哪位駕駛或外送員、計算抵達時間，並為客戶推薦最合適的外送選項。進行如此大規模的AI訓練需要龐大的運算能力，Trainium以高效能且具成本效益的方式實現這項需求。隨著模型不斷學習行程資料，Uber能為全球客戶提供更快速的配對、更準確的預計抵達時間，以及更個人化的推薦，讓他們能更快抵達目的地與更早收到外送。

Kamran Zargahi表示：「透過在Trainium上試行部分AI模型，我們正在建立讓每次Uber體驗都更智慧的技術基礎，這樣我們就能將重心放在每天使用Uber的人們。」

AWS北美區副總裁暨總經理Rich Geraffo表示：「Uber是世界上要求最高的即時應用程式之一，我們很榮幸能為其全球營運提供重要的基礎設施支援。我們協助Uber為數億人提供可靠的服務，並以AI驅動的體驗定義共乘和按需外送的未來。」

ZAGREB, Croatia, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verne, Pony AI Inc. ("Pony.ai") (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026), a global leader in the large-scale commercialization of autonomous driving technology, and Uber Technologies, Inc., today announced a strategic partnership to launch the first commercial robotaxi service in Europe, beginning in Zagreb soon, with initial deployment work already underway, including public-road validation.

The three companies plan to collaborate on the deployment of a commercial robotaxi service, combining Pony.ai's autonomous driving system, Uber's global mobility platform, and Verne's service ecosystem and operational framework. Under this model, Pony.ai will provide its autonomous driving solution; Verne will act as fleet owner and service operator; and Uber will integrate the service into its global ride-hailing network, complementing Verne's own customer-facing platform. Together, the companies aim to build a scalable path toward commercial robotaxi services in Zagreb and, over time, potentially into additional European cities and other markets, with plans to scale to a fleet of thousands of robotaxis over the next few years.

As part of this collaboration, the companies have already begun on-road testing in Croatia's capital, Zagreb, using Pony.ai's Gen-7 autonomous driving system, deployed on the Arcfox Alpha T5 Robotaxi. With preparations for fare-charging services underway, Zagreb is emerging as the first market for commercial robotaxi service in Europe.

Verne will lead the process of ensuring market readiness and obtaining European regulatory approval for these launches, while coordinating the deployment of Pony.ai's robotaxis across both Verne and Uber's networks. This approach ensures consistent performance, safety, and experience, and establishes a scalable framework for expansion into additional markets. As part of the partnership, Uber intends to invest in Verne and support future expansion as a strategic partner.

"Partnering with Uber and Verne represents an important milestone as we continue to expand autonomous mobility globally," said Dr. James Peng, Founder and CEO of Pony.ai. "In China, our Gen-7 has achieved meaningful commercial scale, including unit economics breakeven in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, demonstrating the readiness of our technology and business model. By leveraging this experience, we are well-positioned to accelerate commercialization internationally, combining our technology with Uber's global platform and Verne's role in enabling multi-market deployment, to build a scalable and sustainable autonomous mobility ecosystem."

"Europe needs autonomous mobility that can move from testing to a real service," said Marko Pejkovic, CEO of Verne. "At Verne, we are bringing together the technology, platform, and operational capabilities required to make this a reality, starting in Zagreb before expanding to new markets."

"Through a strong ecosystem of partnerships, autonomous mobility can both scale globally and more effectively," said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber. "By bringing together Pony.ai's proven autonomous driving technology, Verne's operational and market expertise, and Uber's global platform, we're taking an important step toward making autonomous ride-hailing available to more riders in more places."

About Pony AI Inc.

Pony AI Inc. is a global leader in achieving large-scale commercialization of autonomous mobility. Leveraging its vehicle-agnostic Virtual Driver technology, a full-stack autonomous driving technology that seamlessly integrates Pony.ai's proprietary software, hardware, and services, Pony.ai is developing a commercially viable and sustainable business model that enables the mass production and deployment of vehicles across transportation use cases. Founded in 2016, Pony.ai has expanded its presence across China, Europe, East Asia, the Middle East and other regions, ensuring widespread accessibility to its advanced technology.

About Verne

We are named after Jules Verne, who imagined journeys enabled by technologies long before they existed. Verne is building the operational layer for autonomous mobility in Europe and beyond. Since 2019, we've worked on deploying autonomous ride hailing in complex urban environments through operations, integration, and regulatory enablement, making it part of everyday life. At the core, we design how it works and how it feels, keeping the human in mind.

About Uber Technologies, Inc.

Uber's mission is to create opportunity through movement. We started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: how do you get access to a ride at the touch of a button? More than 72 billion trips later, we're building products to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.

加州紐瓦克2026年3月15日 /美通社/ -- 全球最先進的軟件定義汽車及技術製造商 Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) 今日公佈一項全面的財務與產品策略，旨在擴充業務規模，加快邁向盈利和錄得正自由現金流，並將其領先技術拓展至全球汽車市場中銷量更高的高端細分市場。

在紐約舉行的 Lucid 投資者日上，公司概述了即將登場的中型平台的關鍵技術及策略元素，並展示了其新一代 Atlas 電動驅動單元。 Lucid 亦率先預覽了未來的軟件及技術更新，當中包括車載 AI 助理及自動駕駛發展藍圖，並重申將隨著業務規模擴大，把軟件及服務轉化為收益的策略。

Lucid 亦重點提到，公司與 Uber 的策略合作關係持續深化，雙方正敲定協議，計劃以媲美 Gravity 自動駕駛的士項目的規模，部署 Lucid 中型平台車輛，並計劃在未來逐步增加。

總括而言，這些發佈標誌著 Lucid 的關鍵蛻變，公司正憑藉其技術領先優勢與極致效率的理念，強化短期執行能力，並加快實現盈利及創造正自由現金流。

Lucid 臨時行政總裁 Marc Winterhoff 表示：「Lucid 的技術與產品領導地位，早已證明我們的實力。 如今，我們將完整保留 Lucid 的產品與技術精髓，同時透過擴大規模、提升資本效率、嚴守成本紀律，並大幅降低成本，建立卓越的業務體系。憑藉我們當下的執行力及未來規劃，我們已鋪設一條清晰可靠的盈利及正自由現金流之路。」

Uber 行政總裁 Dara Khosrowshahi 表示：「隨著我們在全球加快部署自動駕駛汽車，Lucid 是我們重要無比的策略合作夥伴。 Lucid 無可比擬的效能、預先為自動駕駛而設的車輛平台，以及以客為本的方針，讓我們確信彼此有能力攜手在全球實現自動駕駛出行服務。」

Lucid 亦介紹了 Lunar 概念車，這是一款建基於中型平台的雙座位自動駕駛的士，旨在將效能、使用率及全生命周期營運效益推向極致。 Lunar 雖仍屬概念階段，卻充分展現公司的中型平台在支持未來自動駕駛及商業應用上的強大潛力。

勾勒盈利之路：立足當下執行，推動未來增長

Lucid 強調，其策略的核心在於當下的執行力。 2026 年，公司將專注進一步提升 Lucid Gravity 的產量、拓展全球市場、推進軟件及服務、加速落實降低材料成本及提升生產效率的各項措施，同時恪守嚴格的資本配置原則，務求更快實現正自由現金流。

Lucid 闡述了推動這次轉型的關鍵要素：i) 透過中型平台規模化，大幅擴大可服務市場並攤薄固定成本；ii) 在工程及生產環節追求極致效率，降低電池、人力及資本投入等材料成本；iii) 開拓多元化收益來源，包括軟件、服務、平台授權、自動駕駛的士合作及自動駕駛技術；以及 iv) 建立高效運用的資本合作關係，在自動駕駛的士及平台授權領域尤甚。

Lucid 財務總監 Taoufiq Boussaid 說：「Lucid 的技術優勢現已與專為規模化而設的業務模式完美結合。 中型平台將從根本上改善中期的單位經濟效益，而短期進展則有賴 Gravity 的規模化生產、審慎的資本運用，以及多元收益來源，以上種種正加速引領我們邁向可持續盈利及正自由現金流。」

Lucid Cosmos 及 Lucid Earth 將 Compromise Nothing（絕不妥協）精神帶入高銷量的高級別細分市場

Lucid 全新中型平台，從設計之初便以打造同級頂尖車款為目標，入門價低於 50,000 美元，讓更多人體驗得到 Lucid 引以為傲的續航里程、超凡效能、優越性能及純粹駕駛樂趣。

Lucid Cosmos 是一款運動型多用途車 (SUV)，專為追求頂尖效能、寬敞空間及卓越性能的顧客而設。 Lucid Earth 同樣是運動型多用途車，拓展品牌標誌性的駕控樂趣及高效性能，吸引那些更具探險精神的顧客。 關於第三款中型平台的消費級車型，Lucid 將於日後公佈更多詳情。

Lucid 設計與品牌高級副總裁 Derek Jenkins 表示：「在開發中型平台的過程中，我們絲毫沒有犧牲 Lucid 的獨特本質，反而將這些特質融入可規模化的設計之中。 這些車型既保留 Lucid 鮮明可辨的設計語言及駕控特質，亦採用了從根本而言更簡單更高效的生產及成本控制方式。」

中型平台承襲效率優勢，同時降低成本

Lucid 強調，效率始終是公司的核心競爭力，它不僅為客戶帶來益處，更是公司在結構上的商業優勢。 憑藉領先全球的效能，Lucid 能以體積小得多的電池組實現所需續航里程。此乃關鍵優勢，皆因電池組成本，可佔一輛電動車成本的 30% 至 40%。

Lucid 工程與軟件高級副總裁 Emad Dlala 稱：「我們在效能領域的領導地位，將透過中型平台直接體現為成本上的領先優勢。 電池更小、零件更少、整合更高，那就能夠一舉三得：成本更低、性能更強、用戶體驗更臻完美。」

中型平台的核心，正是 Lucid 全新的電動驅動單元 Atlas。 Atlas 透過更小、更輕、更簡約的設計，進一步提升了 Lucid 的整合效率方案；其前後外殼與支架採用完全相同的設計，從而擴大了生產規模並提升了成本效益。

Lucid 亦重點提到其化繁為簡的製造設計理念，例子之一便是摒棄傳統的車門腰線飾條，此舉不僅減少了零件數量、組裝時間及成本，更使外觀更加簡潔流暢。

Winterhoff 表示：「透過將整部車設計成一個整合的系統，Lucid 提高了電動車的標準。 在中型平台上，我們沿用同一方針，打造出同級最佳的產品，並建立了可持續擴張的盈利商業模式，讓我們的車輛在大規模市場中，具備與燃油車型一較高下並脫穎而出的實力。」

HONG KONG, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Checkout.com, a leading global digital payments company, today announced a 71% year-over-year increase in its total processing volume across the APAC region, following a strong year for enterprise merchant partnerships.

Speaking at Thrive Hong Kong, Checkout.com's regional merchant summit, General Manager of APAC, Brian Sze revealed that net revenue has increased by 50% year-over-year across the region for the third consecutive year. This momentum was driven by a greater share of wallet from existing partnerships and a wave of new APAC merchants choosing Checkout.com to support their growth globally.

Checkout.com has experienced rapid growth over the past year, particularly among merchants in marketplaces, digital goods, travel, and gaming. The company now processes payments for some of the most renowned brands in the region such as Alibaba, Trip.com, Temu, SHEIN, JD, Heytea, NetEase, and many more.

In a move to strengthen its new partnerships, Checkout.com is growing its regional headcount across Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Sydney to better serve the region and accelerate product development.

"Our growth across APAC comes down to three things: adapting quickly to a changing market, staying close to what our customers need, and continuing to invest in our technology and our people," comments Brian Sze, General Manager APAC at Checkout.com. "We're giving merchants the infrastructure, expertise, and local support they need to grow with confidence."

This regional growth follows Checkout.com's recent return to full-year EBITDA profitability and a 30% increase in global net revenue after processing over $300 billion in ecommerce in 2025 for brands like Uber, Spotify, eBay, Temu, Pinterest, HelloFresh, ASOS, Vinted, and many more.

Looking ahead, Checkout.com is now building for agentic commerce, a world where AI agents execute transactions on behalf of consumers. The company is actively working with a broad range of partners to build a connective layer across protocols, schemes, and AI-platforms, so merchants can plug into a single ecosystem and meet their customers where they are, however they want to shop. Checkout.com supports Agentic Commerce Protocol backed by OpenAI, Google's new Universal Commerce Protocol and both Visa Intelligent Commerce and Mastercard's Agentpay framework.

"While agentic commerce is still in its early stages, we're seeing real demand across APAC. But merchants need to have the right infrastructure, expertise, and network to operate in this new environment," adds Brian Sze. "Our focus is helping these businesses understand the opportunity ahead and giving them the tools to capture it."

SYDNEY, May 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sydney harbour and CBD has once again been reimagined as a vibrant city in colour as Vivid Sydney kicks off its 16^th year. In a festival-first, there is no theme for artists and creators to work within, so visitors can expect to see unparalleled creativity across curated Light, Minds, Music, and Food events and experiences this year.

From today, festival-goers can experience more than 200 events over 23 nights that will ignite the senses, stimulate their minds, and tap into unexplored wonder, giving both locals and visitors a unique opportunity to experience Sydney in a whole new light.

This year's program is home to more than 80% free events across both daytime and evening, a condensed 6.5km light walk with 43 installations, projections and large-scale public artworks, as well as the eagerly-awaited return of the drone show – this year, shining bright over Cockle Bay across 22 performances.

Additionally, the well-loved Vivid Fire Kitchen has a new home in Barangaroo reserve and boasts a significant lineup of culinary heavyweights, while Vivid Minds (formally Ideas) delivers world-class conversations and performances from some of the leading creative minds globally.

Vivid Sydney Festival Director Brett Sheehy AO said, "This year marks the start of an exciting evolution of Vivid Sydney. We've expanded the program across all pillars and have opened up the brief for artists and removed the creative limitations of needing to centre around one key theme. 

"Visitors can expect a more immersive and interactive experience that will encourage them to explore new locations, unexpected installations, and spend more time enjoying the festival – both after dark and during the day.

"We've gone back to the core of what Vivid Sydney is all about which is tapping into creativity, and through this, there's this incredible platform to showcase leading Australian talent as well as a chance to bring legendary international talent to the Sydney landscape too."

Vivid Sydney Partners

Returning as Major Partners for 2026 are Kia and Samsung Electronics Australia.

Kia returns in its 5^th consecutive year as a Major Partner and will display Kia Refraction in Bligh & Barney Reserve.

Samsung will activate with an immersive and interactive sculptural installation, Sky Portal Studio in First Fleet Park for its 5^th year as a Partner.

Joining the Major Partners for 2026 is IREN – proud sponsor of 'Star-Bound: Vivid Sydney Drone Show'.

Joining as an Official Partner for 2026 is Lilly Australia. Celebrating its 150th Anniversary, Lilly will be presenting a panel as part of Vivid Minds titled A New Horizon of Health.

Uber also joins them as an Official Partner with dedicated pickup and dropoff zones across the footprint.

Dine Out with Uber Eats will also be the presenting partner of the Food for Thought Stage in the Vivid Fire Kitchen.

The festival's Charity Partner for 2026 is Foodbank NSW & ACT who will be at Tumbalong Park with their interactive installation called Foodbank Truck Packer.

Vivid Sydney runs from Friday 22 May to Saturday 13 June. For more information visit vividsydney.com.

Users in designated areas of Guangzhou can now book fully driverless rides via Tencent's WeChat "Mobility Services" portal. After entering their pickup and drop-off locations, users can opt for an autonomous ride if the route falls within Pony.ai's service coverage. Tencent's WeChat is one of China's most widely used consumer apps, with a user base exceeding one billion. The integration further expands Pony.ai's presence in the WeChat ecosystem, where users previously accessed its service through the company's Mini Program. The service is also expected to be integrated into Tencent Maps in the near future.

The rollout builds on the broader collaboration between Pony.ai and Tencent Cloud, which spans cloud computing, mapping, smart cabin, virtual simulation, and AI. Leveraging Tencent's platform reach and technical infrastructure, Pony.ai aims to further enhance service accessibility while supporting the stable and scalable operation of its autonomous fleet.

Since 2025, Pony.ai has accelerated the commercialization of its robotaxi business. The company was the first in China to launch fully driverless ride-hailing operations across all four tier-one cities, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Its total Robotaxi fleet has surpassed 1,159 vehicles and is expected to further expand to more than 3,000 units by the end of 2026.

Pony.ai continues to strengthen industry partnerships to support long-term scaling and ecosystem development. In China, the company has established deep collaborations with a range of mobility and transportation platforms, including Alipay, Amap, Xihu Group, Sunlight Mobility, Chenqi Technology, and Jinjiang Taxi.

Internationally, Pony.ai works closely with global partners such as Stellantis, Uber, Bolt, ComfortDelGro, Luxembourg-based Emile Weber and Mowasalat in Qatar. These collaborations support testing, pilot programs, and fleet deployments as part of the company's global expansion strategy.

Black Sheep Sets the Table for Exceptional Hospitality at Eat Central

HONG KONG, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Art Central, together with Lead Partner UOB, announces today details of the creative projects supported by its partners alongside hospitality presented at the Fair's eleventh edition. In addition to an exceptional showcase of 117 galleries and more than 500 artists from Hong Kong, Asia, and around the world, Art Central's expanded suite of artistic presentations, cultural activations, and visitor-focused initiatives together elevate the Fair experience across all touchpoints. A cornerstone of Hong Kong Art Month, Art Central 2026 will be held from 25 to 29 March, with a VIP Preview on 24 March, at its iconic Central Harbourfront location. Art Central 2026 is financially supported by the Mega Arts and Cultural Event Fund under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• UOB unveils a newly commissioned installation by Hong Kong artist Ling Pui Sze, White Mirror – The Vista of the Inner Worlds (2026).

UOB PRESENTS A CROSS-DISCIPLINARY ENCOUNTER WITH CONTEMPORARY INK PRACTICES

Lead Partner of Art Central, UOB, presents a newly commissioned large-scale installation by Hong Kong artist Ling Pui Sze, titled White Mirror – The Vista of the Inner Worlds (2026). Drawing on Ling's visual study of cellular imagery and informed by recent scientific research conducted at the University of Cambridge, the work takes the form of an immersive sculptural garden. Ling's largest installation to date, it comprises a constellation of hand-made paper sculptures and moving images, reflecting her accomplished command of ink, paper and site-making practices. Conceived as a serene, meditative environment evoking both a cosmic landscape and a Zen-garden-like setting, the installation offers a moment of stillness amid the vibrancy of the art fair.

The space is populated by abstract, radiating sculptural forms inspired by neurons — cells responsible for information transmission within the nervous system — interwoven with collaged cellular patterns and projected footage of cellular movement. By magnifying microscopic landscapes into a walkable environment, White Mirror – The Vista of Inner Worlds invites reflection on the interconnectedness of body, mind and external reality. Proposing a sense of kinship between the microcosmic and the cosmic, the work echoes the Daoist notion of "Everything as One", offering an imaginative yet contemplative site for introspection.

Visitors can also explore dedicated exhibition spaces, featuring works from the 2025 UOB Art in Ink Awards Winners' Showcase and the UOB Painting of the Year Artist Showcase at the UOB Art Space. Together, these presentations underscore UOB's commitment to nurturing artistic talent across Hong Kong, mainland China, and Southeast Asia, while fostering cross‑cultural dialogue through contemporary ink and mixed‑media practices.

Extending the experience beyond exhibitions, UOB, in collaboration with the UOB Art Academy, a registered charity in Hong Kong, will present a series of UOB Art in Ink Workshops. Led by established Hong Kong artists Eric Ho, Ling Pui Sze, Tony Ng Kwun Lun, Professor Tong Kam Tang, Professor Yau Wing Fung, and Stephanie Yeung Chung Nga, the workshops bridge traditional ink techniques with contemporary artistic expressions, guiding participants to explore the evolving language of ink art. Pre-registration is required via www.uobartacademy.com.hk/ws2026.

At the Central Theatre, UOB will host the public talk 'Reading the Unreadable: When Words Become Images', an in-depth conversation examining how written language shifts into visual, conceptual, and interdisciplinary forms within contemporary art.

Adaline Zheng, CEO of UOB Hong Kong, said, "Marking the 10th anniversary of UOB's partnership with Art Central, this programme underscores the Bank's long-term commitment to advancing artistic practice, supporting art education, strengthening cultural connectivity and contributing to social sustainability within Hong Kong's cultural ecosystem. Through our partnership with Art Central, we will continue to build a platform that evolves alongside Hong Kong's creative community and connects local artistic practice with the wider regional context."

SANDS CHINA DEBUTS A SHOWCASE OF CONTEMPORARY MACAO ARTISTS

Sands China makes its debut at Hong Kong Art Month as the Associate Partner of Art Central, marking the first participation of a Macao-based integrated tourism and leisure enterprise at the Fair. Sands Gallery presents works by three contemporary Macao artists, foregrounding the city's new wave of artistic talent:

• Lei Ieng Wai draws creative inspiration from the tension between light and shadow in everyday life. He draws on scientific theory as the foundation of aesthetics, transforming artificial spectra, proportional values, and geometric structures into repetitive and precise blocks of colour and surfaces of light, exploring urban changes and the lives of city dwellers.
• Leong Chi Mou's works span painting and installation. His practice interrogates shifting notions of value and the cultural interfaces that shape identity, informed by personal migration histories and Macao's post-colonial context. Through these inquiries, Leong's works examine the conditions of cultural survival and the intricate entanglements between artistic essence and value systems.
• Dor Lio Hak Man channels influences from Japanese manga and Western painting into a practice grounded in everyday observation. His work records daily encounters, emotional impressions, and imaginative associations with a relaxed sensibility. He shapes a refined, philosophically attuned visual language that bridges interior experience with an outward-facing openness.

The Sands Gallery booth also incorporates aesthetic elements of Macao's century-old firecracker industry, enabling international audiences to trace the city's cultural development from vernacular craftsmanship to contemporary art expression, while experiencing the city's rich art and culture landscape shaped by its East–West cultural fusion.

MTN SENI BUDAYA PRESENTS THE CURATED CONSTELLATION 'RISING CURRENTS'

Contemporary art in Indonesia today unfolds as a manifold practice in motion, where historical reflection and material intelligence intersect with the complexities of contemporary urban life. Its ecosystem grows from critical discourse and emerging sensibilities that continually inform and reshape one another. Art Central partners with Indonesia's National Talent Management for Arts and Culture (MTN Seni Budaya) to present 'Rising Currents', a curated constellation of eight leading Indonesian galleries: EDSU house, Galeri Ruang Dini, ISA Art Gallery, Puri Art Gallery, RUCI Art Space, SAL PROJECT, SEWU SATU, and V&V.

Rather than advancing a single narrative, 'Rising Currents' maps the multiple registers and interconnected dialogues that define Indonesian art at the present moment: from research-based and institutionally grounded practices to emergent experimentation and new visual languages shaped by younger generations. Together, these practices reveal an art scene in motion—deepening its discourse and asserting its position within global contemporary conversations.

MTN Seni Budaya will also host the talk 'Rising Currents: Indonesian Contemporary Art in Motion' on 26 March. This conversation examines how Indonesia's contemporary art ecosystem evolves through diverse artistic practices, gallery infrastructures, and socially engaged perspectives, reflecting on how creative expressions from the region are expanding their presence and dialogue within the global art landscape.

EAT CENTRAL BY BLACK SHEEP

Black Sheep returns to Art Central for the third consecutive year as the Fair's hospitality partner, unveiling an expanded and much‑anticipated edition of Eat Central. This edition features a new, exciting lineup gathering five of Black Sheep's most beloved restaurants under one roof, including Cantonese signatures from Ho Lee Fook, a heart‑warming Greek taverna menu from Artemis & Apollo, French favourites from Jean‑Pierre, Neo‑Neapolitan fare and speciality drinks from FALCONE, and sweet scoops from Messina, Hong Kong's favourite gelato.

EXCEPTIONAL BEVERAGES AT ART CENTRAL

Soho House Hong Kong returns to Art Central with its pop‑up bar, set against a mural by Hong Kong‑based French artists Faustine Badrichani and Elsa Jeannedieu.

The bar will serve a focused cocktail menu featuring classics such as the Picante and the newly launched Highball Fifty, created to celebrate the opening of Soho House Tokyo, the private member club's 50th House globally, alongside a selection of House favourites perfect for easy afternoons and post‑fair unwinding.

Kronenbourg 1664 joins Art Central 2026 with 'The Blue Perspective', an immersive lounge that transforms the experience of enjoying a premium French beer into a curated sensory moment. With a bar concept shaped by 1664 Blanc and the liminal glow of the blue hour—the luminous threshold between day and night—the space invites visitors to slow their pace, settle into conversation, and savour 1664's crisp, citrus‑bright profile.

The global coffee brand illycaffè marks its third year at Art Central, introducing the latest illy Art Collection by John Armleder. Armleder is renowned for his explorations of perception, reception, and the relationships between artworks and their surroundings, and brings this creative sensibility to 'Tastes', a series of cups and saucers that mirror the reflective, shimmering effects of his celebrated light fixtures. Motifs from Armleder's collection also adorn the illycaffè spaces at the Fair, where an atmosphere of art converges with the excellence of illy's signature blend, offering visitors a moment of pause and pleasure.

SEAMLESS TRANSIT WITH UBER TAXI

To further enhance the Fair experience, Art Central partners with Uber Taxi this year to offer guests a smooth and comfortable way to travel. With every ride just a tap away—whether crossing the harbour or moving between the city's cultural districts—visitors can enjoy seamless, point‑to‑point journeys and a stress‑free arrival at the Fair, setting the tone for an unhurried, fully attentive encounter with contemporary art.

Tickets to Art Central are now available. Visitors are encouraged to book online in advance at artcentralhongkong.com/tickets/.

Leading the Digital category is Tiger Singapore's 'Our Roar, Our Way', a powerful celebration of Singapore's SG60 milestone that captured national pride through a contemporary and distinctly local lens. Prada Australia's 'Hero PDX Lip Balm Gifting' and Penfolds Australia's 'Once Tasted, Never Forgotten' take second and third place, respectively.

In the TV category, Volkswagen Australia claimed the top spot with "The all-new Tayron - Why the long car?", an inventive campaign that elevated a product showcase beyond the standard auto tropes using transmedia innovation with their living print ad. KitKat India's "Break par sirf KitKat Break!" and Cadbury Chocobakes Cakes India's "Chocobakes Santa Film" round up the TV top three.

Notably, all top three winners in both the TV and Digital categories also secured recognition at the Global Kantar Advertising Effectiveness Awards earlier this year, underscoring APAC's growing influence as a global centre of creative excellence.

This year, the Awards also celebrated Campaign Effectiveness and the power of Creators through the Architect of Influence award.

Key Themes Driving Advertising Effectiveness and Fuel Connections in APAC:

Analysis of this year's winning campaigns revealed three common principles behind the region's most effective advertising:

1. Driving difference through deeper connection: The strongest campaigns built meaningful difference by creating immersive worlds and drawing on authentic human truths. By reflecting real experiences and emotions, brands made audiences feel understood while strengthening distinctiveness.
   
   
2. Elevating everyday moments into extraordinary experiences: Many winning campaigns transformed familiar situations into memorable brand experiences through emotional storytelling, rich sensory cues, and heightened creative execution, making ordinary moments feel more meaningful.
   
   
3. Breaking patterns to capture attention: Successful campaigns challenged conventions by subverting audience expectations. From creator-style content to television ads designed to resemble static imagery, these campaigns used surprise and disruption to spark engagement and drive stronger brand connections.

Commenting on the results, Irene Joshy, Head of Creative, APAC at Kantar said "Across APAC, the most effective advertising today is no longer just about capturing attention, it is about creating emotional immediacy and cultural resonance in ways that feel both authentic and unexpected. What stands out from this year's winners is their ability to make people feel deeply seen, whether through hyper-local storytelling, elevated everyday moments or by breaking familiar creative conventions altogether. In an increasingly fragmented and algorithm-driven media landscape, these campaigns demonstrate that effectiveness comes from combining creativity with human understanding, building experiences that audiences don't just watch, but genuinely connect with and remember."

APAC Dominates New Global Campaigns Category

L'Oréal Receives Inaugural Architect of Influence Award

Kantar also launched the Architect of Influence Award in APAC, recognising brands that consistently deliver highly effective marketing at scale. The inaugural award was presented to L'Oréal in recognition of its sustained excellence in creative effectiveness and its ability to build influence across multiple campaigns and markets.

About the Kantar Advertising Effectiveness Awards:

Over the past six years, the Kantar Creative Effectiveness Awards have become a flagship global initiative - celebrating the world's best-performing ads through the lens of consumers. 2026 marks a pivotal evolution to integrate creative and media intelligence into one unified awards event - the Kantar Advertising Effectiveness Awards.

All the ads we showcase are brought to us by our clients and their agencies. We select our winners on a quantitative level from our LINK+ scores 'as judged by the consumer' and a qualitative level by review across the global creative team of our top scoring ads.

About Kantar:

Kantar is the world's leading marketing data and analytics business. We deliver the intelligence needed to power brand growth.

We provide the signals that help organisations act quickly and confidently. We empower brands to make effective marketing decisions based on predictive evidence. And we help them craft powerful growth strategies rooted in the connection between consumers, brands and enterprise value. All this is powered by our uniquely robust human and synthetic data, our unrivalled IP, our AI-native platform and the team of global brand experts that bring this all together.

According to Yeahmobi, these numbers reflect a broader shift in how mobile games acquire and monetize users globally. Growth is increasingly being driven not only by scale, but by higher-quality user acquisition, localized content strategies, and more immersive advertising formats.

Industry data from SocialPeta shows that video creatives continue to dominate mobile game advertising, particularly horizontal and vertical short-form formats optimized for different gameplay experiences and viewing behaviors. Localization also remains a critical factor, with region-specific creatives and language adaptation helping campaigns improve engagement and conversion performance across diverse markets.

Yeahmobi noted that successful game advertising is becoming more genre-specific and content-driven. For example, open-world anime-style games often perform better with cinematic trailers, gameplay showcases, character reveals, map transitions, and influencer-led creative formats that align closely with player expectations.

The company identified three major factors behind the U.S. market's leading revenue position:

• High average revenue per user (ARPU) driven by strong consumer willingness to pay for in-app purchases, subscriptions, skins, and battle passes;
• Mature payment infrastructure and app marketplace ecosystems that reduce transaction friction;
• Strong alignment between player preferences and core game genres such as strategy, shooter, and RPG titles.

As the global mobile gaming industry shifts toward a "quality growth" phase, Yeahmobi believes competition is increasingly centered on content capability, media strategy, and localized operations rather than traffic acquisition alone.

Through partnerships with localized media environments such as Twitch and Uber, Yeahmobi helps gaming brands connect advertising content with high-frequency consumer scenarios, supporting more contextualized user engagement and conversion strategies across global markets.

Yeahmobi is a global digital marketing platform focused on programmatic advertising, user acquisition, and growth solutions for international brands and mobile developers.

匯聚來自逾 50 個國家與地區的 117 間國際藝廊與 500 多位藝術家的作品

全新專題「Central Stage」，聚焦六位全球嶄露鋒芒的藝術家

創意項目涵蓋裝置、表演、影像藝術及講座，探索數位文化對藝術帶來的影響

香港2026年3月25日 /美通社/ -- Art Central（藝術中環）及其首席合作伙伴大華銀行，今日率先呈獻第十一屆展會預覽。作為香港藝術月的重點盛事，藝術中環2026將於3月25日至29日在標誌性的中環海濱舉行。本屆規模為歷屆之最，匯聚 117 間畫廊及逾 500 位來自香港、亞洲與世界各地的藝術家。藝術中環展會2026為香港特別行政區政府文化體育及旅遊局轄下「文化藝術盛事基金」的資助項目。

藝術中環堅守植根香港藝術生態圈的承諾，同時放眼全球。本屆展會中，約三成展出由香港藝術家與畫廊呈現，另有約八成半來自更廣泛的亞太地區。作為探索藝術的重要國際平台，藝術中環連結收藏家與藝術愛好者，呈獻由資深藝術家到具突破性的新銳創作者之作品，聚焦展示亞太當代藝術的多元實踐，並與全球藝術脈絡展開對話。本屆展會由鄭得恩再度擔任畫廊項目策展人，並由容穎怡加入出任創意節目策展人。兩位以嚴謹的策展框架為基礎，探討塑造當代藝術的文化、材質與科技條件。

畫廊項目亮點
本屆的畫廊項目由鄭得恩策劃，聚焦支持新興畫廊與藝術家，為扎根於亞洲藝術生態圈的創作者提供重要切入點，開拓嶄新視角，為區域藝術生態注入持續動能。

Central Stage
2026年全新登場的藝術家專題 Central Stage ，呈現近期獲重要文化機構認可而備受矚目的藝術家，其創作曾亮相國際大型展覽與週期性展會，並獲得重要公共委託、收藏與獎項。六位特選參與的藝術家將於展會中呈現其代表性作品，包括：

• Arahmaiani：現居日惹，為印尼當代藝術的重要奠基者之一。自1980年代起，她透過行為藝術、裝置與社群協作等多元形式的創作，持續回應當代政治、性別權力不平等與消費文化等議題。
• Marta Frėjutė：常駐維爾紐斯的藝術家，從事裝置藝術、物件雕塑及研究導向的影像創作，透過多元媒介探討虛構敘事與個人記憶如何在不斷演變的歷史脈絡中形塑日常經驗。
• Elnaz Javani：生於德黑蘭，現居科羅拉多；其創作橫跨紡織、雕塑與繪畫，聚焦個人與文化記憶、移民經驗及身份認同之間錯綜交織的關係。
• Esther Mahlangu：於南非姆普馬蘭加省出生及定居，以植根於恩德貝勒文化傳統的鮮明幾何抽象語彙聞名。她的創作重新喚活祖傳視覺系統，並將其置入當代藝術與設計的語境之中。
• Arno Rafael Minkkinen：出生於赫爾辛基、現居美國麻薩諸塞州。他被視為攝影實驗領域的重要開拓者，以探索人體與自然世界關係的黑白自我肖像攝影而聞名。
• SIDE CORE：由高須咲恵、松下徹及西広太志於2012年在東京創立的藝術團體，並由播本和宜擔任影像導演。他們的實踐將街頭文化納入當代藝術語境，借由都市次文化的視覺表述與社群結構展開創作。

Neo
Neo 進一步鞏固藝術中環作為新秀躍升平台的關鍵角色。該展區為首年及次年參展的畫廊提供重要平台，致力連結藏家與公眾，呈現正邁入創作關鍵階段的藝術家。本屆 Neo 參展畫廊包括：

• 價值空間（2023年成立於北京）
• 瑀空間（2023年成立於上海）
• 有邊空間（2014年成立於北京）
• Kimreeaa Gallery（2008年成立於首爾）
• Meno Parkas Gallery（1997年成立於考納斯）
• MJK Gallery（2022年成立於東京）
• 無糖畫廊（2021年成立於武漢）
• The Gallery by SOIL 土壤文創（2012年成立於香港）
• V&E Art（2018年成立於台北）
• Wolf & Nomad（2018年成立於邁阿密）

異體雕塑及裝置項目
藝術中環進一步確立「異體雕塑及裝置項目」作為藝術家突破展位框架、實現更大尺度創作的平台。2026年度將展出五組全新兼具規模的裝置作品，其中三組由香港藝術家呈獻：

• Jeong-A Bang（Gallery MAC，釜山）—《Oliver Stone's Swimming》（2024）、《The Space Between Us》（2025–26）。
• Elnaz Javani（RARARES Gallery，杜拜）—《The Fate》（2024–）。
• 莫鎧靖（Touch Gallery，香港）：《凝形之器》（2026）。
• OrangeTerry（Square Street Gallery，香港）—《信仰現成》（2026）。
• 黃毓茗（Yiwei Gallery，洛杉磯、武漢）—《Sunken Echoes》（2026）。

創意項目亮點
本屆創意項目由容穎怡策劃，著眼於當代社會與虛擬生活中所生成的張力與親密關係，並以新興亞洲聲音與深具影響力的創作者為核心，勾勒出區域文化景觀的多重面向。

香港藝術家委約
藝術中環委約新媒體藝術家侯嘉琪（生於1999年，香港）為2026年展會創作大型裝置。其作品《折迴 0.01》（2026）延伸了她對數位身體於情感、感知與科技層面的持續探問。

《折迴 0.01》將藝術家強迫性的自我調節轉化為一座即時運算的影像雕塑。由動作捕捉驅動的影像在遞迴式回饋系統中循環，將藝術家的精神症狀轉化為可被測量的重複與解離週期。作品透過經過編排的美學結構中重新奠定身體的主動性，將那些自主侵入的內在「入侵者」轉化為具生成性的動作與影像語彙。

表演
表演節目「長夜與極晝」將每天於 Central Theatre 上演，回望人工智能時代的時間感如何被改寫，借用極地地區極端的晝夜循環，作為人類對「時長」感知轉變的隱喻。

委約表演項目包括：

• • 廖家明（生於1992年，廣東）—《永不落空（直播中）》（2026）。
  • 吳澤霖 （生於1984年，香港）—《Shadow Work》（2026）。
  • Isabella Isabella（生於1986年，香港）—《 I see blood in the sky.》（2026）。
  • 區雪兒（生於1962年，香港）—《流動影像記憶 —— 步入式影院 》（2026）。

影像藝術
2026年度影像藝術節目「房間裡的泡泡」將展現區域性與國際當代影像創作的多元面貌，關注人際互動的細膩之處與意義建構的思辨脈絡。人工智能雖能處理龐大數據，卻難以捕捉細微語氣與情感紋理；本節目以此技術缺口為切入點，將之視為日常溝通中種種錯位的隱喻，從而凸顯人與人之間嘗試理解彼此時所存在的張力、遲疑與情感暗流。

影像藝術精選：

• 陳亮融（生於台北）—《英國無限期居留申請費用》（2025）。
• 江一帆（生於1994年，天津）—《星期天早上》（2021）。
• Jon Rafman（生於1981年，蒙特利爾）—《Cloudy Heart —— Strawberry Moon》（2025）。
• 王浩然（生於1980年，芝加哥）—《來自香港的愛 第1部分》（2025）與《給香港的恨》（2025）。

講座
藝術中環講座節目匯集當代藝術界多位備受矚的關鍵意見領袖，帶來一連串深層對話。展期期間將舉行多場演講對話，為觀眾提供與藝術家、策展人及業界領袖交流的機會。

講座精選：

• 「今天等我來——中國南方藝術中的真實交流」，由 M+ 希克策展人武漠博士及廣州美術學院藝術與人文學院教授樊林對談。
• 「音樂錄像作為當代藝術媒界」，由電影及音樂錄像導演區雪兒與音樂錄像導演 Halftalk 對談。
• 「錨點——藝術中環2026香港藝術家委約創作」，由藝術家侯嘉琪、策展人及教育者 Inti Guerrero 和 MetaObjects 工作室的聯合創始人兼藝術總監黃詠欣對談。
• 「藝術科技——發展與蛻變中的當代藝術生態」，由媒體藝術家葉韋瀚、林欣傑及吳子昆對談。

合作伙伴藝術家項目
大華銀行呈獻跨界當代水墨創作
藝術中環首席合作伙伴大華銀行，將展出由該行委約香港藝術家凌佩詩創作、全新的大型水墨藝術裝置《白鏡——內觀之境》（2026）。此裝置結合凌佩詩多年來對細胞圖像的視覺研究，以及近年於劍橋大學進行的相關科學研究成果，構築成一座沉浸式的雕塑花園。此作品為藝術家迄今規模最大的裝置創作，由多組手工製作的紙雕塑與流動影像組成，展現其對水墨、紙材及場域建構的成熟掌握。整體空間被構想為一處寧靜而具冥想氛圍的環境，既喚起宇宙景觀的想像，亦融入禪意庭園般的靜觀特質，回應道家「萬物如一」的觀念，提供一刻沉靜的停留。

參觀者亦可於「大華銀行藝術空間」的專屬展區，欣賞2025年「大華銀行年度水墨藝術大奬」得獎作品展及「大華銀行年度繪畫比賽」區域精選展。展覽匯聚來自香港、中國內地及東盟地區的得獎作品，體現大華銀行長期支持區域藝術人才發展的承諾，並透過當代水墨及混合媒介的藝術實踐，促進跨文化的藝術對話與交流。

此外，大華銀行亦於展會內的 Central Theatre 舉辦《解讀不可讀之物：當文字化為圖像》研討會，深入探討文字如何於當代藝術語境中轉化為視覺、概念及跨媒介的藝術形式。

金沙中國呈獻金沙藝廊

MTN Seni Budaya 策展項目「Rising Currents」
藝術中環與印尼文化藝術國家人才管理計劃（MTN Seni Budaya）合作呈獻「Rising Currents」策展項目，匯聚八間領先印尼畫廊，包括：EDSU house、Galeri Ruang Dini、ISA Art Gallery、Puri Art Gallery、RUCI Art Space、SAL PROJECT、SEWU SATU 及 V&V。項目並非建構單一敘事，而是勾勒出構成當下印尼藝術的多重層次與相互連動的對話，展現其在持續深化之際於全球藝術語境中的定位。

Chance AI 以「創新伙伴」亮相藝術中環 2026，開啟全新觀展體驗。作為全新科技賽道，全球首個「視覺智能代理 (Visual Agent)」的開創者，Chance AI 以「觀看」為核心架構，打造能以視覺進行感知、推理與解讀的智能系統。Chance AI 將於展會首度推出實時交互模式 Chance LIVE，化身現場的智能解讀伙伴，為觀眾提供即時的藝術結構分析與文化語境洞察，深化每一次與作品的相遇。

大華銀行呈獻當代水墨創作的跨界對話
藝術中環首席合作伙伴大華銀行，將展出由該行委約香港藝術家凌佩詩創作、全新的大型水墨藝術裝置《白鏡——內觀之境》（2026）。此裝置結合凌佩詩多年來對細胞圖像的視覺研究，以及近年於劍橋大學進行的相關科學研究成果，構築成一座沉浸式的雕塑花園。此作品為凌氏迄今規模最大的裝置創作，由多組手工製作的紙雕塑與流動影像組成，展現其對水墨、紙材及場域建構的成熟掌握。整體空間被構想為一處寧靜而具冥想氛圍的環境，既喚起宇宙景觀的想像，亦融入禪意庭園般的靜觀特質，於節奏明快的藝術博覽會現場中，提供一刻沉靜的停留。

空間中佈滿抽象且向外放射的雕塑形態，其造形靈感源自神經元——負責神經系統中資訊傳遞的細胞——並交織由細胞圖像拼貼而成的紋理，以及呈現細胞運動狀態的投影影像。《白鏡——內觀之境》透過將微觀的生物景觀放大並轉化為可供觀者行走與感知的裝置環境，引導觀者反思身體、心靈與外在現實之間的相互連結。作品在微觀世界與宇宙尺度之間建立一種共感與呼應，回應道家哲學中「萬物如一」的觀念，營造出一處兼具想像力與沉思性的內省場域，邀請訪客展開一段關於內在狀態與自我觀照的思考歷程。

參觀者亦可於「大華銀行藝術空間」的專屬展區，欣賞2025年「大華銀行年度水墨藝術大奬」得獎作品展及「大華銀行年度繪畫比賽」區域精選展。展覽匯聚來自香港、中國內地及東盟地區的得獎作品，體現大華銀行長期持續培育區域藝術人才的承諾，並透過當代水墨及混合媒介的藝術實踐，促進跨文化的藝術對話與交流。

延伸展覽體驗，大華銀行聯同香港註冊慈善機構大華銀行「藝 • 坊」，於展會期間舉辦一系列「大華銀行水墨藝術工作坊」。工作坊由多位香港藝術家帶領，包括何紀嵐、凌佩詩、吳觀麟、唐錦騰教授、邱榮豐教授及楊頌雅，透過結合傳統水墨技法與當代表現方式，引領參加者探索水墨藝術不斷演變的創作語言。工作坊需預先登記，詳情及登記請瀏覽：www.uobartacademy.com.hk/ws2026。

大華銀行（香港）行政總裁鄭濬女士表示：「今年標誌着大華銀行與 Art Central 的合作伙伴關係踏入十周年。我們呈獻的項目彰顯大華銀行長期致力推動藝術實踐、支持藝術教育、加強文化連繫，並為香港文化生態體系的社會可持續發展作出貢獻。透過與 Art Central 的合作，我們將持續構建一個與香港創意社群共同成長的平台，並把本地文化藝術連結至更廣闊的區域層面。作為香港藝術月的重點活動，Art Central 匯聚藝術、文化及來自世界各地的觀眾，構建一個充滿活力的國際平台。透過大華銀行藝術空間，我們很高興呈獻悉心策劃的藝術項目，頌揚藝術卓越成就、促進區域交流，並鼓勵具意義的公眾參與。我們期待各地觀眾蒞臨 Art Central，與我們一同展開這趟啟發人心的藝術之旅。」

金沙中國首度亮相香港藝術月，以「聯合合作夥伴」進駐藝術中環，成為首家參與此國際藝壇盛事的澳門綜合旅遊休閒企業。藉着金沙藝廊（Sands Gallery）向國際舞台推介三位澳門當代青年藝術家，展現澳門藝術新浪潮：

• 李英維的創作靈感源自於日常生活中的虛擬元素。他的作品表達了與當代社會背景下虛擬與現實的抽象繪畫。通過重覆的方式，塑造作品中看似單調的氛圍，揭示出城市變化以及都市人的生活。
• 梁子毛出生於廣東，後移居於澳門，其作品涵蓋平面繪畫與裝置藝術，靈感核心圍繞著「價值」與「文化駁口」二詞。憑藉自身的移居經歷，以及澳門在後殖民語境下的獨特位置，作品深入探討地域文化間的生存狀態，以及藝術本質與價值體系的複雜相生關係。
• 廖克敏熱愛漫畫與西洋繪畫，創作以日常為軸心，以輕鬆手法記錄所見所聞、自我感受和天馬行空的聯想。擅長透過細膩而富哲思的視覺語言，建構出一種既私密又開放的藝術對話。

金沙藝廊選址澳門四季名薈的常設藝術空間，自 2022 年成立至今，持續發揮澳門國際文化窗口之角色，匯聚中外藝壇菁英佳作，並為澳門藝術家構築面向國際的展示平台，迄今已策劃 12 場風格多元的展覽，屢獲國際及業界肯定；持續以藝術為紐帶，厚植城市多元發展，深拓澳門藝象的未來力量。

MTN SENI BUDAYA 展出策展項目「RISING CURRENTS」
印尼的當代藝術正以多元的形式持續發展：歷史反思與物質現象在藝術實踐中彼此交織，並共同回應都市生活所構成的多重現實。當地的批判論述與新興的創意感知亦持續互相啟發與重塑，推動其藝術生態的成長。基於此脈絡，藝術中環與印尼文化藝術國家人才管理計劃印尼文化藝術國家人才管理計劃（MTN Seni Budaya）合作呈獻「Rising Currents」策展項目，匯聚八間領先印尼畫廊，包括：EDSU house、Galeri Ruang Dini、ISA Art Gallery、Puri Art Gallery、RUCI Art Space、SAL PROJECT、SEWU SATU 及 V&V。

「Rising Currents」並非推進單一敘事，而是勾勒出定義當下印尼藝術的不同維度及其共通點：從以研究為基礎、具制度根基的實踐，至由年輕一代引領的新穎實驗與視覺語言。這些作品一同展現了印尼當代藝術的持續深化，亦在全球藝術對話中確立其地位。

MTN Seni Budaya 將於3月26日舉行講座 「Rising Currents：當代印尼藝術的演變」。講座將探討印尼當代藝術生態如何在多元的藝術實踐、畫廊基礎建設與社會參與視角中持續發展，反映出該地區的不同創意理念如何在全球藝術版圖中擴展其影響力和共鳴。

BLACK SHEEP 呈獻 EAT CENTRAL
Black Sheep 第三度回歸藝術中環，擔任展會餐飲合作伙伴，並帶來全新且更具規模的 Eat Central，讓訪客一次品味旗下五間最受歡迎的餐廳。陣容包括：口利福的粵式經典名菜、Artemis & Apollo 的溫馨希臘酒館料理、Jean-Pierre 的法式美饌、FALCONE 的新拿坡里佳餚與特色飲品，以及深受港人喜愛的意式雪糕 Messina。

藝術中環呈獻一系列精選佳釀
Soho House Hong Kong 再次進駐藝術中環，帶來期間限定酒吧，並以現居香港的法國藝術家 Faustine Badrichani 與 Elsa Jeannedieu 創作的壁畫作為空間焦點。

酒吧將推出精選雞尾酒單，包括經典的 Picante 及為慶祝 Soho House Tokyo 開幕而全新推出的 Highball Fifty，並提供多款 House 招牌特飲，適合午後與觀展後的悠閒時光。

Kronenbourg 1664 今年以 「藍色視角」 主題進駐藝術中環，打造沉浸式酒廊，將品味法國高級啤酒的瞬間轉化為精心策劃的感官體驗。空間概念源自 1664 Blanc 與日夜交界的 「藍色時刻」，邀請訪客放慢步調、自在交談，細細品嚐 1664 清爽、帶柑橘香氣的獨特風味。

國際咖啡品牌 illycaffè 第三度亮相藝術中環，並呈獻由 John Armleder 創作的 illy Art Collection 系列。以探索感知、接收及藝術與環境之間關係而聞名的 Armleder，將創作靈感延伸至杯碟系列「Tastes」，借鑒其著名的燈飾裝置，營造出波光粼粼的折射之美。屆時系列的視覺元素將點綴整個 illycaffè 空間，在藝術氛圍與咖啡香氣交織之間，為參觀者帶來一段靜謐而愉悅的悠閒時光。

The partnership unites two organizations with New Zealand roots and growing global profiles at a moment when both are expanding their presence on the international stage

SAN FRANCISCO and AUCKLAND, New Zealand, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ivo, the leading platform for AI contract intelligence, today announced a partnership with New Zealand Football to become the Official Legal AI Partner of the All Whites, New Zealand's men's national team.

The collaboration reflects Ivo's continued connection to its New Zealand origins as the company expands its global footprint. Founded in Auckland and now headquartered in San Francisco, Ivo helps global enterprises, including Meta, Uber, IBM, Shopify, and Mitsubishi Electric, accelerate contract workflows and surface critical business intelligence locked inside their contract portfolios.

As part of the partnership, Ivo branding will appear on the front of the All Whites' training and press kit as the team prepares to compete on the sport's biggest international stage, as well as across select New Zealand Football initiatives. New Zealand Football will exclusively use Ivo's contract intelligence platform to draft, review, and analyze all their teams' agreements.

The announcement arrives alongside a wave of global momentum for Ivo, which has grown ARR sixfold in the last 12 months and has recently opened offices in London and New York.

"As a New Zealand-founded company, we know what it takes to build something and take it to the world stage," said Min-Kyu Jung, CEO and co-founder of Ivo. "Standing with the All Whites as they prepare for one of the most significant moments in the program's history is something we're really proud of."

Andrew Pragnell, Chief Executive of New Zealand Football, said: "Ivo is a real Kiwi success story of a company taking on the world, and that's exactly what we strive to do every time our national teams step onto the field. It's exciting to partner with a New Zealand-founded company experiencing strong global growth while remaining connected to its roots. We look forward to working together and supporting each other's continued success."

As part of this alliance, Thunes will enable access to CPN Managed Payments for its customers, enabling stablecoin-powered settlement capabilities while allowing them to continue operating within existing fiat-based workflows. The collaboration underscores Thunes' ambition to make every payment system, regardless of its underlying technology, fully interoperable, allowing money to move as freely and instantly as information.

A Legacy of Innovation: Thunes and Circle Since 2024

This collaboration builds upon a robust foundation established in 2024, when Thunes and Circle first joined forces as early adopters of stablecoin-powered liquidity. Since then, the two companies have worked to integrate USDC into Thunes' Direct Global Network, transforming how liquidity is managed across more than 140 countries.

By utilising USDC for near real-time settlement, Thunes has successfully eliminated the constraints of traditional banking hours and the need for heavy pre-funding in local "nostro" accounts. For Thunes' Members, including banks, gig economy platforms, and money transfer operators, this has translated into:

• 24/7 Prefunding: Enabling round-the-clock liquidity management and real-time funding regardless of banking hours.
• Capital Efficiency: Freeing up millions in working capital previously trapped in dormant accounts.
• Unrivaled Reach: Seamlessly connecting 12 billion mobile and stablecoin wallets and bank accounts to the speed and transparency of blockchain rails.

Chloé Mayenobe, Deputy CEO at Thunes, said, "Joining CPN Managed Payments is the natural next step in our journey to make the world's payment systems truly interoperable. Our goal has always been to remove the borders from money movement. By deepening our long-standing collaboration with Circle, we are ensuring that whether a customer uses a traditional bank account in Europe, a mobile wallet in Africa, or digital assets in Asia, the experience is fast, secure, and invisible. We are building the bridge between these universes to support the future of the global economy."

Nikhil Chandhok, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Circle, said: "Thunes brings deep expertise in global payment connectivity and operational scale. Their experience operating across diverse payment ecosystems provides valuable input as we continue to develop the Circle Payments Network and expand access to stablecoin-powered settlement for financial institutions globally."
