Architecture and applications
A shared foundation. Many possibilities.
We are developing the technical environment for Artwork Spirit. It connects work data and AI, spatial presentation and rights coordination within a shared framework. Specific institutional tasks determine which capabilities are developed and how their quality is assessed.
The original
Work and identity
Artwork Spirit
Individual intelligent entity
ACS
Shared software environment
From individual works to an institutional environment.
The Art Certificate System, or ACS, is the intended software environment. Each work identity receives its own instance. Institutional workspaces connect these instances with teams, programmes and controlled access. Research views, exhibitions and authorised processes can therefore refer to the same original.
The target architecture includes knowledge and media management, AI services, presentation functions and traceable process coordination. The SQARES Q-Token standard is envisaged as a technological core for rule-based identity, rights and transfer processes. Its integration for art is being developed through suitable work models, interfaces and verification procedures.
Institutional software licences are intended to let organisations integrate these capabilities into their own collections, programmes and services. Teams use a shared foundation for many works while their content, roles and approvals remain associated with each institution’s own framework.
Turning records into useful knowledge.
Appropriate photography and 3D capture are connected with existing records and specialist review. Images and documented comparisons support the identification and condition assessment of the original. AI helps interpret texts and relationships, while sources, review status and reasoned corrections remain identifiable.
One possible project brings together dispersed records about a historical work. Confirmed events, differing attributions and open questions are documented with their supporting evidence. Responsible specialists review the results. A carefully described gap in knowledge can be just as valuable as a newly established finding, because it gives further research a clearer starting point.
New settings for institutional interpretation.
World Art brings together the potential of spatial web galleries, augmented reality and digital interpretation alongside the original. Work models, explanations and dialogue form a presentation for which the participating institution takes curatorial responsibility. Scale, spatial placement and presentation quality respond to the work and its exhibition context.
A possible application is a curated AR exhibition of significant sculptures in public space. Preparation connects the selection of works and locations with presentation rights, professional content and technical trials. The quality of the encounter and the responsibility of the participating institution remain central.
From instruction to documented outcome.
Acquiring an original work, licensing an image or arranging a loan requires clear responsibilities. The intended process coordination connects requests, review, conditions, approval and execution. Transfers of ownership and rights are connected to the relevant agreements and supporting evidence. The documented outcome becomes part of the work’s history.
Documented interfaces and suitable exports are intended to support integration with existing institutional systems. Identity checks, role-based access and traceable approvals protect knowledge and authority. Versioning, backups and orderly handovers support long-term usability.
The platform is intended for institutions’ everyday work: their own teams, appointed service providers and collaboration with defined responsibilities. Concrete applications are developed and tested with partners, with a clear framework for their capabilities, support and institutional usage rights.
