The Artificial Museum

holds the cultural heritage
of the future

As a global cultural–technology platform, it connects an international artistic research community with a scalable, location-based augmented reality framework.

  • Platform as a tree graph
  • The Artificial Museum operates using two interlinked structures: SystemKollektiv and SystemKunst KG.

    SystemKollektiv forms the cultural infrastructure, shaping new methods for how art can exist, travel, and remain accessible in the digital age.

    SystemKunst KG is the technological and commercial entity, transforming artistic and research-based outcomes into scalable, functional, and globally deployable digital systems.

    Together, they form a globally scalable ecosystem that transforms public space, linto living exhibition spaces. OR Together, they create a worldwide ecosystem that transforms public space into living exhibition environments.

  • Rethinking what a museum can be, the Artificial Museum operates through a continuous, circular system that blends culture and technology.

    It brings together artists, technologists, and communities to create cultural experiences that merge research with infrastructure, defying physical, political, and economic limits.

We are timeless, have
unlimited space and are always
open to the public

our mission

Our mission is to create,
produce, distribute,
research and preserve art
in public space
  • Create

    We manifest art as a digital expression and representation of real and imaginary phantasms. These artifacts are not meant to be replicas. With the unique possibilities of mixed reality, art can come alive and give the viewer a multidimensional experience.

  • Produce

    We work with artists, collectives and institutions to commission works for our collection. We regularly organize educational workshops where we teach the basics of creating artifacts for the Artificial Museum.

  • Distribute

    Our web app is the hub of our network and offers artists, collectives, institutions and visitors the opportunity to create, collaborate, contribute, connect and collect.

  • Research

    When you build something that doesn't exist, there are always new concepts to explore. Our research in the field of mixed reality includes: Interactivity, representation of analog artworks as digital artifacts, gaming experiences in augmented reality, and creation and production processes for digital artifacts.

  • Preserve

    The Artificial Museum aims to create a publicly accessible and permanent archive, preserving moments and objects as artifacts that defy time and serve as permanent virtual monuments.
