ArtNetwork is a social network focused on artists and collectors. Artists share studio updates, exhibitions, and new work directly with the people who follow them. Collectors and curators can follow artists and stay up to date through a simple, chronological feed — no algorithms, no engagement tricks. ArtNetwork is designed for long-term visibility and meaningful connection, not virality.

A chronological, no-algorithms feed for artists/collectors is a refreshing “anti-engagement-tricks” stance. The scale pain is trust + provenance (original work, editions) while keeping it calm; best practice is signed uploads + EXIF preservation, optional watermarking, and lightweight verification (studio/venue links) without turning into KYC. How are you handling media storage/rights controls (who can download/repost), and do you plan “collections/exhibitions” as first-class objects so posts can roll up into a clean portfolio timeline?

@ryan_thill Really appreciate this perspective. The chronological, no-algorithm feed is very intentional. A lot of the art community feels platforms like Instagram broke discovery when they moved away from chronology. If an artist I follow releases a print, I want to know when it’s released — not when it happens to rank in an algorithm.
We’ll continue to explore provenance and trust thoughtfully, without turning the platform into a verification or engagement game.
For artists who want deeper documentation, ArtNetwork integrates with StudioArchive.io, which acts as a system of record for works, editions, dimensions, and exhibition history. Posts can reference documented works without forcing heavy verification upfront.
Thanks again for the thoughtful comment — this kind of feedback is exactly why we built this.
