"The App. The art world is undergoing major changes. On the one hand are the billionaires who push the prices of desirable works into the stratosphere - putting enormous financial strains on museums which can only be met by passing them along to the public, and on the other hand new technology which allows artists to communicate directly with viewers for just a couple of bucks, bypassing dealers, collectors, curators, critics. This app, offered free, is the beginning of this new wave."--Artist's website.
"The Optimix Album is a free, 3D art collection of 40 images to be viewed using a Google Cardboard headset. Optimix refers to the process of sending different information to each eye to be mixed together by the brain."--Description of the Optimix Pix mobile app, from the iTunes store.
