RE: Shazam for Art - Why Magnus is a GREAT App and Why the art world HATES it!
I like the concept of your project! I believe there is a high demand in the art market to make it more open and available for the larger audience to participate.
There is another app called Wydr that I have posted about before, they have a similar concept of making art available for everyone. But the interface is different, very similar to Tinder.
“Art Galleries are for the 1%, wydr for the 99%." - that's their slogan.
You might be interested in contacting the developers, there can be areas for collaboration.
And it can be very useful for you to do a pitch at the art fairs. There are a lot of gallerists and collectors there, but also a large crowd of distant art lovers.
I will be in Art Basel in Miami this December, would be great to see your project there!
