This session will feature a diverse selection of some of the best arts-related start-ups New York City’s innovative technology community has to offer. Each presenter will have 5 minutes to deliver an overview of their product and demonstrate its significance to the cultural sector. Presenters include:
THE AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT PLATFORM FOR THE ARTS (AEPlatform.org)
AEP is an open-source platform that helps artists design and efficiently manage their relationships with audiences, while giving individual audience members exciting ways to interact with artists and the arts. AEP aims to extend the meaningful moment of the live performance and transform how art fits into our daily lives. Created by and for artists, AEP is developed for the arts fields by Misnomer Dance Theater, a dance company based in Brooklyn, New York.
AVIARY
Aviary is a pioneering and leading provider of fully web-based design tools. With a suite of digital creation software available as an online service, Aviary offers a simple and cost-effective solution for creators of all genres – from graphic design to audio editing – to produce, modify, and share digital creations. Based in New York and backed by leading investors and visionaries such as Spark Capital, Jeff Bezos, Joi Ito and Reid Hoffman among others, Aviary is changing the way digital assets are created and distributed online.
TOURA
Toura’s mission is to be the leading technology platform for the efficient and cost-effective creation and distribution of smartphone-based mobile guides for the travel and tourism industry and its customers around the world. Mobile guides created with the Toura platform will entertain and educate onsite and offsite “visitors” to a broad range of travel and tour attractions, including museums, galleries, zoos, parks, historic sites, trails, stadiums, universities, and others.
ART.SY
Art.sy is the place to buy, sell, and discover original fine art online. Our online gallery benefits both professional artists and traditional galleries by increasing exposure to collectors and creating more sales. Art.sy does this by making your art easily discoverable and shareable on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. This way it’s more likely that the right collector will find you, so you don’t have to spend all your time trying to find them. The result: more sales and more time to focus on just creating beautiful art.
TRANSIT
Transit is a web publishing system for creative individuals to own and completely customize their own space on the web. With a comprehensive plugin system and drag-and-drop layout, Transit makes it simple to share media, fund new projects, and participate directly in the new media economy without being held hostage by a huge portal company. Transit is currently in late-stage prototype, and the creators are looking for feedback from independent media makers on where to take the platform next.
