Online art that’s offline ready

Online art that’s offline ready

Collecting contemporary art relies on a centuries old user experience. Zien is here to change that.

⁠Today, almost all contemporary art collecting happens offline. The lack of effective online distribution is the major force shaping today’s art economy to the detriment of artists, collectors and new visual culture forced to rely on social media feeds.

Art is not content.

Our mission is to create the decentralised platform for contemporary art, transforming production and making ownership accessible to a new generation of collectors. Our belief in open platforms is underpinned by $AURA, a fungible token designed to power the future art economy.
