About Artloom Aplicació mòbil

ArtLoom és una aplicació mòbil que connecta artistes emergents amb col·leccionistes d'art. Vendre obres pot resultar difícil per als artistes nous, mentre que els nous col·leccionistes sovint no saben per on començar. ArtLoom s'inspira en les aplicacions de xarxes socials i de cites. Els col·leccionistes exploren obres d'art en una galeria virtual immersiva i reben una selecció diària basada en els seus hàbits de navegació. Els perfils dels artistes presenten la història que hi ha darrere de cada obra. Un assistent de xat amb intel·ligència artificial dona suport a la comunicació entre artistes i col·leccionistes. ArtLoom està dissenyada per a dispositius iOS.

Design Challenge: How can we design a dedicated, user-friendly platform that facilitates seamless connections between emerging artists and casual collectors?

Key research questions:

- What are the biggest barriers preventing emerging artists from selling their work?
- What motivates casual collectors to purchase art, and what challenges do they face?
- How do existing platforms fall short in serving these groups?
- What features would make an art marketplace more accessible and engaging for both artists and collectors?

This research aims to uncover insights that can shape a solution tailored to the needs of emerging artists and casual collectors, fostering a more inclusive and vibrant art market.
Research: Utilized digital survey services to analyze data on the challenges and needs of emerging artists and art collectors. Findings highlighted key challenges, including connecting with collectors, understanding pricing strategies, and effectively communicating their art to a broader audience.
Inspiration: Aspiring artists struggle to find buyers, while art lovers want to support them but face challenges in connecting.

Most platforms cater to established artists and collectors, leaving emerging artists to navigate the crowded space of social media like Instagram.

But does it have to be this complicated? How can we create a dedicated space for emerging artists and casual collectors to connect effortlessly?
Project Duration: The project started in June 2023 and finished in January 2024 in New York City.
