ABOUT ARTIVIVE
Artivive is an AR tool that allows artists to create new dimensions of art by linking classical with digital art.
The digital layer opens doors to a whole new world of possibilities. This way, artists can take visitors on a journey through time, explain what lies underneath, enhance the art with animations, or show how the artworks were made.
Artivive collaborates with museums, galleries, festivals, and designers alike. It partnered up with viennacontemporary and mumok, Museum of Modern Art, for the special program LIVING IMAGE during viennacontemporary international art fair 2018. In 2019, Artivive was used by the Bayerische Staatsoper to bring augmented reality experiences to their season program. In 2019 Artivive was used in the exhibition “100 Best Posters 18 – Germany Austria Switzerland” at the MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art in Vienna. At an international level, they work with venues such as the Shanghai Himalayas Museum, MIT – Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Leica Gallery in Singapore.
