5D INTERACTIVE VIEWER

After scanning your artwork, ARTMYN provides you with a 5D interactive image in Ultra-High Definition (more than a billion pixels depending on the artwork). This allows you to interact with the "digital twin" of your artwork: you can interact with the surface, zoom inside the texture, or play with the relighting orientation of the illumination source. Compatible with any digital device (smartphone, computer, tablet, etc.) you will be able to better appreciate to its finest, the reliefs, materiality, textures and contrasts of your artwork.

INTERACTIVE GUIDED TOUR

The customizable immersive videos provided by ARTMYN bring you in the heart of the artworks. For instance add audio comments (in one or more languages) to reflect the artist's creative process, to add a narrative about her/his career or even regarding the history of the artwork Compatible with any digital devices, these immersive videos offer new experiences for the collectors and great promotional tools for professionals.

E-CATALOGS

Any files related to your artworks - interactive 5D images, immersive videos, digital condition reports or videos - are displayed in a e-Catalogue new generation whose content can be easily viewed or shared. These e-Catalogues are fully customizable, they can include an artwork, a selection of “highlights” or an entire collection. This format is suitable to display the artworks remotely, to share and interact with actors of the artistic field (restorers, experts, committees, potential buyers and art market, insurers, carriers, curators and cultural institutions, etc...).

DIGITAL CONDITION REPORT

The Condition Reports provide information on the state of conservation of an artwork at a specific moment. They are particularly useful prior to a sale, a purchase, a transport or for an insurance quote. In collaboration with qualified and certified restorers, ARTMYN establishes detailed and didactic Condition Reports that can be shared as 5D interactive images (captured in visible light, ultraviolet and infrared), videos or files.

AUTOMATIC DAMAGE DETECTION ALGORITHMS

Through automated damage detection algorithms, the ARTMYN technology is able to identify and monitor possible changes in your artworks after transportation, storage, loan or a restoration. Based on the comparison of two scans performed before and after an event, the system is able to detect high precision variations that happened on the surface of your artworks. In case of a damage or abusive restoration, we will advise you to perform an evaluation with a condition report and will direct you towards professionals for a detailed diagnosis.

BIOMETRIC ART PASSPORT

For each scanning, a digital and highly secured Art Passport is created. This passport contains the “fingerprint files” generated by ARTMYN and all the additional documents necessary to secure your artwork (such as certificates, sales catalog extracts or provenance items). It allows a remote access and the possibility to share it with any actors in the art market. The shared information and accessibility time are controlled by the owner.
