150,000 public domain works, one open call

Artivive with the Paris museums

When the Paris museums released more than 150,000 works into the public domain, Artivive turned that into an open call: pick a painting, drawing, illustration or photograph from the collection and build a digital extension for it, with video, animation, stop motion or time lapse. Twelve finalists were selected and shown at the Artivive Art Space in Vienna, with the aim of convincing the museums to put the augmented versions into their own rooms. The film is the brief, including what does not work, sculptures and objects.

Outcome: Open to more than 150,000 public domain works from the Paris museums, 12 finalists exhibited in Vienna.
