Empowering Arts & Cultural Professionals to Share Beyond Walls
WHAT IS SHAREX?
The SHAREX project empowers art and cultural professionals to share digital exhibitions
beyond their physical spaces. Co-financed by the European Union in 2016, this initiative elevates digital exhibition productions, curations, and collaborative opportunities amongst different organisations.
Based upon WallMuse app, digital exhibitions can efficiently manage synched displays, accommodating various formats by managing different rights, including copyright. The app proposes digital exhibitions of:
- images, paintings, and photography (2D),
- artefacts, sculptures and installations (3D),
- videos, and performances (4D), and
- interactive art using HTML/JavaScript eventually with sensors (5D).
Encrypted download and/or streaming channels are provided.
- The download channel facilitates complementary usage for PCs and their monitors/projectors, used for collective or immersive experiences.
- The steaming channel extends to Smart TVs and Handhelds.
Together, the synched multiple displays aim to enhance artistic and cultural presentations by providing flexibility in display usages.
Characteristics include handling of different:
| Rights | Types | Offers |
| Copyright | Apps: WebPlayer for streaming + PC Player that downloads content | wallmuse.com (bundled) |
| Creative Commons | Contents: images, videos, HTML, JavaScript | your.app (custom) |

| Types | Usages |
