Airside, an Entrust Company, the global leader in privacy-based digital identity, announced with the Government of Curaçao and Vision-Box, an Amadeus company, the world’s first fully operational pre-processing biometric border crossing program.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Airside, an Entrust Company, the global leader in privacy-based digital identity, announced with the Government of Curaçao and Vision-Box, an Amadeus company, the world’s first fully operational pre-processing biometric border crossing program. Visitors to the Caribbean island can now experience a seamless, contactless journey to their destination thanks to this pioneering initiative, which aims to streamline and secure the travel process by putting travelers and their data privacy at the center of their trip. The launch coincides with Curaçao’s record-breaking tourism surge, as the island saw historic numbers in 2023, closing the year with 1.76 million passengers.

 

“Most of what you do at an eGate can now be done on your phone in just a few clicks,” said Adam Tsao, Founder of Airside. “Our privacy-first approach to digital identity management allows travelers to accelerate their journey without risking their personal data.”

Travel Securely from Airside to Seaside

The Curaçao Express Pass program enables travelers to Curaçao to securely share passport data with border control officials before their trip using the Airside Digital Identity App. Upon arrival at Curaçao International Airport (CUR), pre-processed travelers enjoy expedited clearance through designated lanes where they simply show their faces to process through contactless eGates, powered by Vision-Box technology. This eliminates the need for physical document checks and traditional border control interactions, reducing traveler processing times by more than 50% while maintaining the highest levels of security and accuracy.

“Trust begins with verified identity. Curaçao’s innovative approach to border management is truly impressive and Entrust is honored to be part of this landmark program,” said Tony Ball, President of Payments & Identity at Entrust. “With the Airside mobile identity application, we’re streamlining border crossings and redefining secure, seamless travel. This initiative marks a significant milestone in our mission to enhance security, convenience, and trust for citizens and visitors worldwide.”

The Airside Digital Identity App leverages technology trusted by the U.S. government and the world’s largest airlines and used by millions to save time in lines and protect data privacy. The app is fully customized to meet Curaçao’s specific requirements, empowering travelers to initiate the verification and sharing of their electronic travel data, including biographic and biometric data, to the country’s immigration services. All EU, UK, US, and CAN passengers are eligible to use the Curaçao Express Pass service in the Airside app. The app adheres to the highest data protection and user privacy standards, ensuring that travelers remain in control of their personal information throughout the process.

“Most of what you do at an eGate can now be done on your phone in just a few clicks,” said Adam Tsao, Founder of Airside. “Our privacy-first approach to digital identity management allows travelers to accelerate their journey without risking their personal data. This aligns perfectly with Curaçao’s vision of prioritizing travelers, enhancing their experience from the moment they arrive, and extending their vacation time.”

Tourism is a crucial driver of Curaçao’s economy, and the new border crossing system is expected to significantly improve the island’s ability to welcome visitors efficiently and securely. In 2023, Curaçao witnessed 582,409 stayover visitors, resulting in an estimated economic impact of $1.4 billion. The Curaçaoan government expects to extend this solution to departures from the island starting in late 2024.

“This solution realizes an important component in our vision to create contactless border crossing, as it is essential that we adopt innovative solutions that increase our efficiency and effectiveness as border control officers,” said Shalten Hato, Minister of Justice. “Our partnership with Airside will not only enhance the traveler experience but also bolster our national security. We look forward to welcoming visitors to Curaçao with this cutting-edge, user-friendly system.”

A Future of Seamless Travel

Entrust’s acquisition of Onfido in April 2024, which included Airside, has positioned it at the forefront of seamless travel solutions. Combining Airside’s proven expertise in digital identity verification and sharing with Entrust’s extensive capabilities in secure credential issuance and authentication, the company is poised to drive the global adoption of secure, contactless border control systems.

LITO Announces New Collaboration Bringing Exclusive Contemporary Artist Editions to Sotheby’s Online Marketplace

Published

The initiative sees artists create new works designed from the outset for high-quality, limited editions.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LITO, a pioneering printmaking company redefining how art is created and collected, is pleased to announce a new collaboration that brings exclusive, museum-quality contemporary art editions to Sotheby’s online marketplace. The collaboration introduces a curated program of LITO Editions by leading international artists, offering collectors a new way to acquire highly refined, limited-edition works conceived in direct collaboration with the artists themselves.

LITO Editions are authentic works of art conceived in direct collaboration with artists, who imagine original work specifically for the format. The pieces are then developed into limited editions at LITO’s Technology Lab, an in-house research and production facility where engineers, technicians, and print specialists have developed the company’s patented Hi-Rnd© process. The lab brings together precision engineering and artistic collaboration to produce works that capture texture, color, relief, and brushstroke detail at multiple scales. Produced in limited runs, the editions are each hand-signed and numbered by the artist.

The initiative begins with an exclusive series of LITO Editions by acclaimed American portrait artist Kehinde Wiley. The series is based on his 2008 painting Triple Portrait of Charles II. Drawing on the historical tradition of multi-view portraiture, these works explore identity as layered and constructed rather than singular. Each piece is produced as a high-resolution print on Aludibond, set within an aluminum frame. The compositions feature engraved floral elements against mirrored backgrounds, available in Gold, Dark Mirror, and Mirror finishes, with select works also offered in a blue variant. Available for immediate purchase on Sotheby’s online marketplace, the editions are priced between $8,000 and $15,000, expanding access to Wiley’s work while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Wiley’s editions are currently on view at Sotheby’s galleries in the Breuer Building in New York through April 24, offering collectors and the public an opportunity to experience the artist’s work and LITO’s high-resolution editions firsthand. The presentation highlights the depth, texture, and dimensionality that define LITO’s approach and underscores the collaboration’s emphasis on in-person engagement.

“The marriage of art and science is one that’s been known and storied. There was, prior to the camera, an assumption that art was the ultimate authority of truth in history. Now with new technology, art is freed to take on new responsibilities, and to be able to tell other types of stories,” said Wiley. “Working with Sotheby’s, LITO, and LITO’s technology has also allowed me to go back into my archive and rethink paintings that had been done years ago and these editions are part of a grand tradition of artists playing with the leading edge of technology.”

“As the art market continues to evolve, the collaboration signals a broader shift toward new formats and technologies that expand how art is created, distributed, and collected, without compromising on artistic intent or quality,” said John Dodelande, CEO of LITO. “By creating a new asset class within the art market, our technology will allow a new generation of collectors to experience and immerse themselves in the art world in a way that limited supply may have otherwise precluded them from.”

“Beginning a collection with editions offers an exciting and accessible entry point into contemporary art,” said Cynthia Houlton, Sotheby’s Senior Vice President and Global Head of Demand Generation & Marketplace. “Through our collaboration with LITO, collectors can acquire high‑quality works directly from the artist, reinforcing both authenticity and a meaningful connection to the creative process. Exclusive to Sotheby’s, these editions carry a compelling sense of rarity while remaining approachable. By presenting them on our Marketplace, we aim to welcome new audiences and invite discovery of exceptional art in a way that feels both inspiring and inclusive.”

New releases and exhibitions will follow throughout 2026, with monthly drops planned alongside presentations in New York, Los Angeles and London, including a Sotheby’s showcase in London from April 29 to May 17 and in Beverly Hills from May 18 to May 31.

Founded in 2022 and based in Bregenz, Austria, LITO already operates showrooms in Paris, London, and Bregenz, reflecting its growing international footprint. The company has collaborated with a wide range of internationally recognized contemporary artists, including Amoako BoafoDaniel ArshamCamille Henrot, Jia Aili, and Peter Halley, among others, advancing a model that creates new pathways for artists while extending the reach and accessibility of their work.

ABOUT LITO:

Founded in 2022, LITO is a forward-thinking printmaking company based in Bregenz, Austria. Through its patented Hi-Rnd© technology, LITO produces high-rendered limited editions that capture the texture, color, and dimensionality of original artworks with exceptional precision. Working in close collaboration with leading contemporary artists, LITO creates editions that are hand-signed, numbered, and conceived specifically for this innovative format.
