Artsy Wants to Put the Culture and Experience of High Art Online
Artsy, a cool product on the web, has made it its mission to use the Internet to make the world of high art accessible to anyone that wants to experience it. Artsy collects art internationally by partnering with major galleries to keep an online database where anyone can search for, learn about, or view specific artwork that is for sale. They have also formed partnerships with several museums and foundations to provide online access to public art that is not for sale, but enthusiasts may still want to view and discover online in high quality. Currently, Artsy claims to have over 50,000 pieces collected on their site for viewing. The site offers users a multitude of ways to filter the content on the site to suit their specific interests. The site sorts works by medium, subject material, style, price, movement, geographical origin and time period. Artsy tries to ensure than anyone can easily find their specific tastes within the site’s ever-growing database. If you have trouble navigating the site, call for PC support services.
Artsy is also heavily involved with The Art Genome Project, which attempts to deconstruct art into its specific characteristics that help map how works relate to each other. The project calls each characteristic a “gene”. Artsy lets you browse artwork by gene and encourages you to find characteristic connections between pieces.
One of the major aspects of art appreciation is the discussion over work that you find at a gallery. A large part of why art enthusiasts view art at all is to discuss it and Artsy tries to facilitate this with its posting system. Users who browse through different works can leave posts on a work’s page if they wish to comment on it or facilitate a larger discussion. This feature implies that Artsy desires to use the Internet to spread thoughtful discussion about art and not simply create a sterile database of works.
Recently, Artsy released an app for the iPhone and iPad so that mobile users can experience the site in a more touch-friendly manner. If your phone or tablet has trouble downloading the application properly, you will need Apple tech support to resolve the issue.
