About Artloom 手機應用程式

ArtLoom係一款連結新晉藝術家同藝術收藏家嘅手機應用程式。對新晉藝術家嚟講，出售作品往往並不容易；而新手收藏家又經常唔知道從何入手。ArtLoom嘅設計靈感源自社交媒體同交友應用程式。收藏家可以喺沉浸式嘅虛擬畫廊入面瀏覽藝術作品，並根據個人瀏覽習慣，每日獲得專屬嘅精選推介。藝術家個人主頁會呈現每件作品背後嘅故事。人工智能聊天助手則協助促進藝術家同收藏家之間嘅溝通。ArtLoom專為iOS設備而設計。

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

A matchmaking hub for collectors and artists:
