ZEN GALLERY

The inspiration for our Zen Gallery comes directly from the East, from the ancient Japanese Buddhist schools, in which teachers and disciples were in constant search for serenity and tranquility.

Lowered into today's reality, the philosophy of living according to the Zen canons represents the attempt to free the mind. Meditation is the right way to reach the final goal and, in order to do this, also the way you choose to furnish a space becomes fundamental. 

Creating environments that facilitate tranquility therefore leads to satisfying a series of requirements that are identified in the interior design with the search for furnishings, colors and geometries with simple and elementary lines.

Immersed in the green of an autumn forest, the Zen Gallery is characterized by a minimalist style, in which the chosen materials and the shapes of the furniture contribute to giving serenity.

The colors of the wood make space even bigger visually, with the presence of stone walls that amplify the sense of naturalness. Immersed in nature and furnished only with natural elements and colors, this gallery is suitable for hosting any type of exhibition and will make your artworks stand out more.

Bye bye, blockbusters: can the art world adapt to Covid-19?

The glitzy fairs and crowded shows are history, replaced with Zoom studio tours and virtual exhibitions. Might this actually mark an improvement?

“We’re going to talk in terms of before and after. The virus will change a lot of things for art". This is a statement from Frances Morris, director of Tate Modern.

The Guardian poses a fundamental question.

Given the amount of requests we are receiving after the pandemic, we truly believe that the #Art World has the power to adapt to any type of change, especially when it meets halfway with the World of #Technology.

DSL Collecction VR Museum

Dominique and Sylvain Levy are the founders of the DSL Collection, one of the rare Chinese contemporary art collections in France. Since 2005, the aim of Levy’s strong team has been to assemble Chinese artworks to have a massive digital presence in the Art World. The reason why they decided to become one of the biggest collectors in this sector of the Art World is to go with the flow of change brought by China which has become a superpower in recent years. This evolution is changing the face of the world as technology is modifying the way humans interact with the real world.

The Ikonospace team created for the Dominique and Sylvain Levy’s private art collection a virtual museum from scratch. The challenge for our team was to build a space large enough to contain pieces from their collection that could hardly be housed inside a physical museum. For example, the 15x6m masterpiece of Jia Aili, an artist from Dandong who combines modern elements with a traditional figurative style. His work is mostly focused on the dramatic technological transformation China has been going through in the last fifty years.

The philosophy of the DSL collection fits perfectly with Ikonospace's mission to tell, through the use of virtual reality and technology, how it can be possible to transport the future into the Art World.

The DSL Collection Virtual Reality Museum was born in 2016 and was the first of its kind. For the first time, our team managed to create a museum space around the artworks rather than fitting them into an existing space.

Unveiled at the FIAC Art Fair in Paris, the experience invited users to discover 30 artworks and went on to receive the “Digital Collection of the Year” award on Larry’s list, one of the biggest leading art market knowledge company providing data, research and access to contemporary art collectors.

In 2016, this innovative and truly eye-opening virtual reality museum, allowed visitors to access the first online private museum in the world. Thanks also to this French couple, Ikonospace was able to start spreading its vision of the future of technology as a tool to reach new audiences all over the world and facilitate different types of novel experiences through the use of the VR.

Norman Seef - Virtual Reality Museum

All the work of Norman Seeff has been focused on the exploration of human creativity. Photographer and filmmaker, Norman Seeff has immortalized in his photos artists of the caliber of Tina Turner, Patty Smith, Ray Charles and many others.

‍The most fascinating aspect of his works is his ability to clearly show all the dynamics hidden behind the creative process. Looking at the world from the back of his camera, Norman Seeff used to quiz the artists who posed for him about their lives or their successes in order to create a mini confessional atmosphere. His purpose was to make these artists tell him about the exact moment in which they had found inspiration for their art. At that precise moment, Norman was able to capture, through his photos, their own soul.

Inspired by the importance that Norman Seeff gives to the creative process,  the Ikonospace team decided to build this museum from scratch.

‍Walking through this three-dimensional space, it is possible to admire how the geometry of the structure blends perfectly with the light that filters through the walls.

‍The Norman Seeff Virtual Reality Museum was one of the first showcases of large Virtual Reality Museum for Ikonospace. It was first showcased at CES Las Vegas in 2018, the largest trade show organized by the Consumer Technology Association. This event typically hosts presentations of new products and technologies in the consumer electronics industry.

The Ikonospace team wanted to specifically create a type of architecture that is very difficult to build in reality. Inside the museum, for example, there is a room that acts like an elevator, allowing visitors to move around the different floors of the building. A river also flows across the structure to balance with the dense rocks walls.

With the Norman Seeff Virtual Reality Museum, our team explores new ways to interact with artworks. By approaching each photograph and clicking on it, the visitor is literally catapulted into the photo. A sort of time travel to return to the exact moment in which that photograph was taken. The visitor, through extra videos and photos, can relive the moment when the artist was telling his story.

About the artists you can admire inside this museum, Norman Seeff said: "Those people have what I call 'far vision.' They look out to the future. The dreamer always has a vision of the possibilities in the future”. This has been the heart of the inspiration of Ikonospace team: to create an experience to inspire people to have a look into the future, showing them the possibilities that come out when virtual reality meets art.

Ikonospace was founded in 2015 to be a link between Art and Technology.

Our mission is to strengthen and enhance the communication between these two adjoining worlds.

We work hands in hands with Artists, Collectors, Galleries and Art Institutions to help them make the best use of the latest 3D technologies.

We believe digitization not only helps to preserve and share our cultural heritage but also helps to reduce the carbon footprint of the industry.

This is the reason why, since the beginning, the story of Ikonospace travels the unpaved road of 3D, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality.

The road was in sight of everybody but not everyone could see it.

We can see it today.

And we are here to show that there is more than meets the eyes.
