Currated Art

[rak]

Hi guys,

There are commercial products out there which show currated art on a magicmirror like picture frame (glas instead of mirror).

Canvia
https://palacio.life

Framen
http://www.myframen.com

Meural
https://meural.com

Two different paths here

/1/ has anyone one of these or similar products and tried to get MMM running?

/2/ I like the idea of subscribing to an art feed. Is there a similar service/solution which can be used to have a similar experience directly on MMM?

Regards
Ralf

maybe you can use this module :

@maros Thanks for jumping in. I am using MMM-Wallpaper already.

Its about a good source for curated art/pictures to show.

I found Saatchiart, Artspace, Magnum Photos, Albertina, but was not able to find a plugin which pulls comparable sources.

Of course, there is always a copyright issue to use commercial arts.
I don’t know whether any kind of public domain arts exists and be open for digital usage. If there is, making module is not so difficult, I think.

@Sean you can find over 45k free famous oil paintings in high resolution on :
https://images.nga.gov

as mentioned on page :
More than 51,000 open access digital images up to 4000 pixels each are available free of charge for download and use.

@maros Interesting. I’m watching now.

@Sean yes it looks great but for me the page is little bit slow :( so i’m not sure how fast it will work in module.

First thing that came to my mind:
“Every piece of art you’ve ever wanted to see – up close and searchable” by Amit Sood at TED, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjB6DQGalU0
(if you don’t watch the full 15 min, check 4:00 min)

https://artsandculture.google.com/

In a quick search, I couldn’t find any current information on whether there is an API, but I’d guess so.

[A Former User]

@doubleT I cannot find API. I think that is some kind of magazine not service with available API. Anyway, that’s nice program.
@Maros NGA doesn’t have API. Maybe crawling can be available, but…

I found Rijks Museum (in Amsterdam) and Tate (London) and something else.
So, I made MMM-Rijks first.

@sean

I made this a year ago. Same API. :-)
