Art That Remembers
Join us to experience living, digital artworks that evolve through interaction. You’re not just viewing the art—you’re actively shaping it, over time, together.
Technology That Remembers
Each audience interaction in the interactive artworks are stored on Arweave protocol which is specifically designed for long-term data preservation, with a one time fee. The aim is that every contribution—to the artworks —remains intact, ensuring it continues to grow and evolve over time, in a sustainable cost effective way!
Arweave for artists
We all thrive on relationships. Arweave enables dynamic experiences to live, evolve, and remember—just like the relationships that inspire it and bring it to life.
Why Now?
“What happens on the ‘net stays on the ‘net. Or maybe not.”
This old quote is very relevant, when thinking about dynamic experiences and data storage over time. This reflects the fate of ‘NetArt’ projects— digital works that blended tech and art, from the early days of the internet. Many have vanished due to API changes, platform shutdowns, website decay, and unsustainable maintenance costs, highlighting the fragility of digital art.
But what if digital art could persist, evolve, and be remembered, all for a one time fee! Let’s change that. Let’s create art that lasts.
