2-D Artworks:

Use web-optimized JPG files in RGB color. Set up your files at a size of 900 to 1500 pixels on the longer side. Resolution: 72 dpi always. Higher resolution images or print files at 300 dpi  will only cause longer loading times but no better presentation in the gallery. 

*Please use the "export as" or "save for web" option in Photoshop (versus the Save As)

Please crop them decently! 
A straight angle, and the photograph taken in frontal view of the artwork is advised → or straighten this with image editors such as photoshop, pixlr or gimp. Depict the artwork as large as possible in the photograph; mind the portrait/landscape setting of your camera. Crop out any background scenery: you want to have the 'pure' artwork and not the rest of the room it was photographed in. 

An even illumination when photographing your artwork is advised. Reflections on shinier areas might look artificial, as the light in the virtual galleries is very even. 

Non-Rectangular Artworks:

You will need a png file, exported with its transparent properties. Practical online tools are remove.bg, or pixian.ai, depending on the quality and resolution of your source image. If you are working with textile art or flat, irregular artworks on a wall, consider a slight drop shadow in the png to create the impression of an off-set piece. 

3-D Artworks:

Method 1 - Billboards:

The image(s) will always face the visitor and create a 3D-like impression, although they are "only" 2D photos. 

SIMPLE: You can achieve this effect with a single photograph after removing the background to transparency. Online background removers such as pixian.ai work well for this task.

ADVANCED: Use photos of the sculpture from multiple angles. They should be from the same height and distance. Their background needs to be removed and the images saved as PNG files with transparency. Then name them according to the angle from which they should be viewed, for example 0001_sculpture_big.png (frontal view), 0180_sculpture_big.png (view from the back), ... .

Method 2 - Full 3D:

You need a 3d model of the artwork. The objects must be scaled to real dimensions (1:1, unit is "meter") and the placed at the 0,0,0 point of the file.

Your 3D model file should either be modeled with a 3d program (preferred) or created via photogrammetry or a laser scan and then optimized for web (low polygon count, small file size). 

About 3D files: - preferred file formats: glb (or obj+mtl) 

• file size: optimal 2-3MB; maximal (but not recommended): ~20-30MB, max. 100k faces 

• objects must be scaled to real dimensions (1:1, unit is "meter") and the placed at the 0,0,0 point of the file 

• if you use obj (not recommended): please keep all paths in the obj and mtl local (same folder), don't let them point to other places, since they will not be available when uploaded 

Music / Audio/ Soundscapes:

• Please upload an MP3 file of your work

• Please also upload any art, photography, or imagery you would like us to feature alongside your audio (this could be album art, photographs of your process, scores, or images of instruments that carries personal history)
