About Artloom Aplikasi Mudah Alih

ArtLoom ialah aplikasi mudah alih yang menghubungkan artis baharu dengan pengumpul seni. Menjual karya sering terasa sukar bagi artis baharu, manakala pengumpul baharu pula selalunya tidak tahu di mana hendak bermula. ArtLoom mengambil inspirasi daripada aplikasi media sosial dan aplikasi temu janji. Pengumpul melayari karya seni dalam galeri maya yang mengasyikkan dan menerima pilihan harian berdasarkan tabiat pelayaran mereka. Profil artis mempersembahkan kisah di sebalik setiap karya. Pembantu sembang kecerdasan buatan menyokong komunikasi antara artis dan pengumpul. ArtLoom direka untuk peranti 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.
Operation Flow

Makes discovering art as effortless as scrolling through social media. Enjoy a curated daily showcase tailored to your browsing habits and preferences.
