FRAMED is the world's first canvas for digital art. It displays various works of art
on an elegant screen that is easily installed on your wall. Perfect for home and office
use, in shops, galleries and at events, FRAMED transforms your space with cutting-edge
digital artwork on its stunning HD screen. This innovative display allows you to collect
and display artwork from all over the world, meaning the power of expression is yours.
Available in 24-inch and 40-inch models, each frame displays 16.7 million colors from
a 180degree(s) viewing angle. A classic design with a wooden finish, plus additional
options for custom colors, means FRAMED fits perfectly into any environment. You can
interact with the device using simple hand gestures, a fluid system that allows for an
effortless user experience. A free smartphone app also connects the device to your mobile
and allows you to browse images on the web, sending them to your device with the swipe of
a finger. This immersive and interactive experience brings digital art into everyday life.
The wealth of artwork on the Internet means FRAMED can be enjoyed by art novices and
more experienced visual artists alike. The device supports most media types including GIF
animation, video, graphics, openFrameworks, Flash and Processing. Aspiring artists are
encouraged to share their own creations, curate a selection of their favorite artists and
get their ideas framed on walls around the world. FRM has worked with a number of prolific
artists including Aaron Koblin and Universal Everything to bring you digital artwork
specifically designed for FRAMED. The diversity of art available means FRAMED works for
every occasion.
FRM Co-Founder and Creative Director Yugo Nakamura explains 'As designers ourselves,
we couldn't be more excited to create a marketplace where artists can freely publish and
sell their work. The evolution of technology and the accessibility of the Internet has
brought out a wonderful range of digital art, and now we have an innovative way of sharing
that art, and presenting it in way that pays respect to the artists that created them.
We're very excited to be sharing this idea with the Kickstarter community and gaining
their feedback, as well as opening digital art to the every day consumer.'
