Digital Residency

IkonHaus stewards The Human Record—the intention and inquiry captured in works from the last 1000 years.

 

Today, that record is being written in new dimensions.

​

Much of our era's cultural literacy is encoded in digital and 3D spaces, yet a disparity has emerged: we are surrounded by fleeting social media artifacts about art, while the work itself lacks a meaningful way to be lived with. A "Reel" documents the process, but it cannot occupy a room. Without a bridge to the physical, contemporary work remains a transient spectacle—locked behind proprietary barriers and lost to the archives.

​

The Digital Residency is a selective technical partnership designed to restore Presence to the work of today. Through our highly considered artist selection process, we curate a 90-day showcase of a singular work, providing emerging creators with the same high-fidelity global WebAR infrastructure to bring their work into homes across the world.

​

As part of our commitment to the global arts community, IkonHaus provides this infrastructure as a fully-funded resource. By removing the technical barriers to high-fidelity display, we provide a tangible bridge to the physical world—transforming a transient file into a durable asset that can be placed, experienced, and lived with in modern spaces.
