Arts in 10 years Digital art will be the new contemporary art with as much or more reach and market value

Issues addressed Track, analyse and broadcast every deal made in the context of Art Business. It is obvious that data-driven decision making is the next big thing in $55 + billion-a-year industry. Art business is expanding and so does the volume of transactions. The trend is expected to continue as more avenues of deal-making are being introduced almost everyday both offline and on internet. More opportunities may also cause more confusion so Artmarq can help users navigate this complex art market otherwise dubbed as ‘exclusive’, ’opaque’ and ‘intimidating’.

Arts in 10 years What we do with VR-All-Art is what we are imagining for the art world

Issues addressed A new concept of education: augmented education. Using tools like blockchain (for a fast research archive), 5G (for a fast transmission of data or organising conferences), VR (for a better understanding), artificial intelligence (for a coworking space) we seek to provide rich additions to the existing educational system

Team Our team is not formed from code writers, designers, animators. Our team is based on well known contemporary artists exhibited in renown biennials, museums, and galleries with a high combined knowledge of code writing, design, animation working with state-of-the-art technologies to show your beautiful and amazing story in a journey which the observer will never forget and always will crave to come back to that experience again.

Arts in 10 years More democratic due to use of technology.

Issues addressed The traditional museum experience, from clunky audio guides to outdated membership and loyalty programs, has the potential to be more efficient and user-friendly. Cuseum’s mobile engagement solution offers an immersive and accessible alternative to the old-fashioned audio guide, providing museum visitors with personalized tours and multimedia experiences from their own device. Similarly, membership operations at most museums have traditionally been highly manual and tedious - membership fulfillment is costly and time-consuming, yet non-engaging for the members. Cuseum’s digital membership solution works to streamline the membership process, drive value for members, increase membership renewals, and serve as a convenient outreach channel. Our goal is to help museums and cultural organizations succeed in the digital age

Ciecko got into arttech by merging his extensive experience as technologist and designer, with his passion for art and culture

Arts in 10 years The future of the arts sector will be more digital, more accessible, and more distributed. It has only been two decades since the birth of Google, and we’re not even close to understanding the full power of the internet. Moreover, we haven’t even scratched the surface of where the physical and digital world intersect. It’s only a matter of time before we arrive at distributed, virtual experiences that transcend the four walls. Into the future, we will see AI-curated exhibitions and AI-guided experiences that adapt to the personal tastes and preferences of the viewer. There is untapped potential for public and private collections to fully enter the digital realm, not merely with static images, but with brilliantly interactive, virtual worlds that provide access to the broadest public
