But while acquiring the art was hardly a problem, there were relatively few areas in my life where I could idly display images. All I needed was a large amount of art along with a mechanism that would randomly show me new works from this collection every fifteen minutes or so. How do we find the time to fit them into our content-saturated lives? And how do we return to view the works we’ve already enjoyed?įor several years, I wanted to create a sort of “digital museum” that would give me random, on-demand access to this very important side of the art world. Meanwhile, hundreds of amazing works are posted daily on Instagram, DeviantArt, and Reddit. Where does the immense body of work from genres such as fine art, photography, and illustration fit into this world? Museums - physical beasts that they are - can hardly be visited on a whim, and as of yet there’s (sadly) no Spotify for visual art. Entertainment in the 21st century has evolved to actively engage our minds and senses, to the point where movies, music, games, and even audiobooks require little more than putting on a pair of headphones or fixing our vision to the nearest screen. The category of static visual art is in a bit of an awkward phase right now.
