UNSOLVED 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.

@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.

I made this a year ago. Same API.
