.arc

An experimental mobile archive interface for contemporary artists, built around principles of structured contribution, non-performative navigation, and deliberate slowness.

The design resists feed-based engagement and instead introduces a system of logs, annotations, and curated assemblies. Users do not create profiles automatically — they are invited, reviewed, and indexed. Every interaction (from adding a work to writing a note) becomes a traceable event within a cold, textual UI layer.

The system is built to foreground presence over performance, and to allow for critical, archival interaction with artistic work in a way that feels infrastructural rather than social.
