About Artify
ARTIFY, an alliance of Art and Digital, was born from the meeting of two enthusiasts with complementary profiles: Simon Cau and Christophe Roux. At the start of the adventure, Christophe, a tech lover, informed Simon, a nomadic gallery owner, of an innovative project in the field of art: disseminating works outside the walls thanks to digital technology. Indeed, if music, cinema or literature have started their technological revolution, the field of visual arts is still in its infancy. The influence of new technologies on all fields, including artistic ones, is undeniable. Rather than fighting against this development, it seems more judicious and productive to them to accompany the movement of progress while respecting Art and its actors.
