Artfinder - New Startup

Product and design for a website, phone and tablet platform bringing art into the digital age. Our first steps have been around collating a decent sized catalogue and providing cultural institutions with digital superpowers. Future plans move toward enhancing the real world experience using image recognition, location based services and enabling digital editions. Lots more to do!

Plink Art

Plink Art is a visual search application that runs on mobile devices. It uses image recognition to identify artwork photographed on a mobile phone, from books or in a gallery, and allows users to explore related works and art movements. Plink was acquired in April 2010 by Google and the technology integrated into the Google Goggles product.
