Build in public. Own your provenance.
ARTSSN is a decentralized platform for creators to establish a permanent, public record of their work. We provide simple tools built on open protocols to help you share your process and build community.
Principles
Author and artist first.
Presence, not profiles.
Public by default, private when needed.
No dark patterns.
Your Studio
A Studio is your personal, sovereign space on ARTSSN. It's where you publish works-in-progress, final pieces, notes, and ephemera. Think of it as your digital workbench and archive combined.
You control everything. Each entry is timestamped and cryptographically signed, creating an immutable record of your creative journey.
Galleries
Galleries are curated, public exhibitions. They can be organized by themes, collectives, or for specific events. Anyone can curate a gallery, drawing from public works across the network.
This allows for community-driven discovery and contextualization, separate from the artist's primary studio space.
IPFN, Briefly
The InterPlanetary File Number (IPFN) is the core content-addressing protocol we use. Instead of location, it points to content. This means your work is identified by what it is, not where it's stored, ensuring permanence and portability.
Global Impressions
We provide simple, privacy-preserving analytics for your public work. See how your creations resonate across the globe without compromising visitor anonymity. No tracking cookies, no personal data collection.
TableTalks & Events
Connect with the community through live audio conversations, virtual studio tours, and online exhibitions. Announce and manage your events directly from your studio.
Standards
We build on and contribute to open standards to ensure your work remains accessible and interoperable, independent of our platform.
