How can art be shared only through physical presence?
We noticed that sharing art in person creates a different kind of attention than consuming it digitally. This question emerged from wanting to understand that difference.
Exploration
Things we've explored so far:
Digital distribution flattens context, intention, and friction.
Public platforms prioritize scale over meaning.
Physical presence creates natural scarcity and trust.
Access can be transferred person-to-person rather than broadcast.
Constraint
If it can be shared without being there, it's not the system.
Emergence
What's emerged so far:
Active
The Algorithm
A platform for in-person art sharing
Artist-led projects live inside a single app and are unlocked person-to-person through proximity, not public links.
