THE DOWNLOAD CENTER IS A DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR EXCHANGING A FORMAT OF WORK THAT CAN BE DOWNLOADED AND MATERIALISED.
WELCOME!
The Download Center provides a professional tool that bases its efficiency and its future actions on 4 pillars:
– the first one is artistic : it aims to promote the development of the artistic “downloadable” form, by exploring a working format which benefits from the digital capacities (multiplicity, ubiquity, exchange, networks etc.). Works can even so be materialised.
– the second one is the production of works : it promotes the creation of works. In this aim, the selected strategic development axis is to provide the artists with favourable conditions to create and especially to publish their work. To materialise this idea the DC workshop offers a service to provide materialization of works that require it (2D or 3D printing, for example).
– the third one is social : it facilitates the creation of a link between audiences and artists by completing the classic circuit. It provides a permanent, direct and autonomous exchange interface. Through its networked collective action, the DC ecosystem aims to create a strong structure instead of a multitude of scattered and isolated sites. With the DC social network, there is also the possibility of a network between professionals.
– the fourth one is economic : The Download Center aims to create a market to facilitate the artistic creation and to provide it with additional dynamism via the art forms that will be shared on its structure. This ambition remains still to be realised. For artists, this source of income would be without intermediaries and recurrent thanks to the subscription system. The subscription constitutes a formula which matches with the long and continuous temporality of the creation process.
