Everything you need to know about pARTicipart
1AI
All our art is secured by both human experts and artificial intelligence (AI). In this process, an ultra high-resolution photo of a small part of a single brushstroke or another ultra small detail of the entire picture is taken and unalterably stored on the blockchain. In any following transaction, artificial intelligence compares this stored high-resolution detail to a second picture taken on site. Only if all details are the same, does the A.I. approves the transaction. This way, the identity and originality of all our masterpieces are not only checked by the usual human expertise and documentation, but are also authenticated by AI .
2AR
From the moment you secure your pARTicle reservation, you will get access to a digital augmented reality (AR) “print” of your masterpiece. This allows you to place a high-quality digital picture of the masterpiece onto any photo on your mobile phone. So, you can sit in your room/car/office/plane and put your Picasso on the wall. Look and enjoy, or share it with friends.
