Immaterial trophy
All digital communication can be reduced to code consisting of one's and zero's: on or off.
Code is an abstract concept for the final user, it is invisible and immaterial. This award is the representation of a three dimensional trophy that consists exclusively of one's and zero's, code has been used as visual language.
The trophy that stands as icon for a special achievement, appears in a stream of information, frozen in a massive block of crystal glass. De award was made using computer and laser technology, engraved inside the glass, and could never have been made without ICT.
