The digital revolution has changed almost every aspect of our lives. It is impossible to avoid the technological influences that surround us on a daily basis. Maybe, we shouldn't be too surprised to learn the enormous impact technology is having on the world of art too.
The Klio is a product of Art.com's experimental Labs division and hangs on the wall like an HDTV. This next generation device also allows art sharing via a Wi-Fi connection and a monthly subscription.
In essence, Klio is attempting to bring to the digital art world what iTunes did for music. The device is providing a virtual market for artists and an on-demand download source for art lovers.
Embracing both innovation and technology has enabled the team at Klio to create the new motion-rich art forms of tomorrow. Much of the art on the platform can evolve over time. Users can also change their collection automatically depending on their mood or even time of day to provide a unique digital décor experience.
There is much more to digital art than digitizing traditional work; it's about creating a new form of living art that evolves, transforms and grows. Cinemagraph is just one of six different genres utilized by Klio. The technology takes a still photograph layered with one or more elements showing a subtle motion to bring the art to life.
In this world where the personalization of almost everything is becoming increasingly important to users, broadcasting a mood in any room through art takes things to a whole new level. It's a simple concept that is bringing art lovers and artists together to create virtual global art galleries in both homes and offices all over the world.
Many will look at the Klio device itself and question why the platform could not exist on a Television or think of it as a giant digital photo frame with a slideshow. But, they would be completely misunderstanding the purpose if this 21st-century conversation starter that can bring any room to life.
This 4k device display is creating a movement of new media artist's whose innovative creations evolve over time. Traditional prints that frequent our homes from home furnishing stores such as Ikea quickly fade in both a metaphorical and physical sense.
Klio's mission is to compliment traditional art rather than replace it. But its ability to evolve and offer a different perspective each time you look at it that provides the game changer moment.
Paul Golding is the chief scientist and one of the inventors at Klio. Despite being a technologist at heart, it working with artists from around the world to create something unique that rocks his world. The fusion of technology and art is something that has mouthwatering possibilities.
Pushing the envelope is becoming the norm at Klio. When I spoke to Paul, he freely admits that they do not know where art lovers want to take this technology. As a result of this, they are planning to introduce an option for users to unleash their innovation by plugging the platform into IFTTT.
As IoT progresses, home networks are increasingly being hooked up to Philips Hue lighting, Nest thermostats and wearable tech that tracks every aspect of our health and exercise. IFTTT enables the creation of personal recipes to automate every element of our lifestyle.
Imagine being able to create a recipe that will bring a sea of calm to your surroundings before you go to bed. The lighting, temperature, and even your personal circadian rhythms will change the art to represent the essence of you, and how you are feeling.
The expression of human creative skill and imagination combined with technology is creating a visual form of art we have not seen before. It's fantastic to see new media artists pushing the boundaries and throwing away the rule book to create something truly unique.
