Small logo of artolog, Collective archive

artolog.ca is a prototype site to archive your art documentation. You may choose to keep it in your private folders, share it, publish it for all to see, or to be seen solely by registered art galleries and institutions.

Project Description

Why make a collective archive?

Because art disappears and websites get lost in the immensity of the web.By consolidating, there's a potential to link the public to exhibits they're interested in.

What are the objectives?

Explore ways to easily find artwork and artists of interest. Add tools for artists and galleries.Find ways for artists to profit from their work and ideas.

Community

The project was created for smaller communities but is open to all.

The challenge then becomes about finding, filtering content of interest, professional content, etc. The idea is to provide continuity to those who might not have their work archived and to make visibility/networking equitable.

This project was created by an individual/artist looking to solve obstacles through digital and/or AFK (away from keyboard) means. An organization/management/governance structure will be concieved once/if the platform meets the needs of artists.

Please also note that the inclusion of other languages is anticipated.

Reflection on the project

Finding the right developers is a difficult task.
Same goes with artists who have spent time thinking about digital initiatives (in smaller communities)
Wireframe everything
