In 2017, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “$1's Worth” by Young Eun Kim (Digital Musics & Sound Art) with a Honorary Mention.
In *$1's Worth*, the artist especially focuses on one particular characteristic of sound, which is its immateriality. She attempts to materialize sound by applying units used to measure concrete material, namely, length, height, and width.
