Angelo Sotira, the creator of the iconic online art community DeviantArt, has launched Layer – a high-end digital display designed to showcase complex digital artwork in living spaces. Sotira’s goal is to revolutionize how we experience digital art, moving beyond static images and toward dynamic, evolving creations that capture the essence of modern creative technologies. 25 years after founding DeviantArt, Sotira returns to the digital art scene with Layer, focusing on a premium display unlike traditional TVs or art-mimicking devices like Samsung’s ‘The Frame.’ Layer is built for serious collectors, institutions, and enthusiasts who demand the ultimate presentation for their digital collections. It boasts advanced capabilities, including seamless integration into high-end environments and the ability to present high-resolution code-based artworks. 35 years of artistic innovation in code-based art have culminated in a display that utilizes GPU technology to render complex artworks with unparalleled fidelity. Beyond static images, Layer is designed for dynamic digital creations, particularly those using AI, where artists write their own software to create evolving works that are controlled by the underlying code. The ability to run this kind of art directly on Layer’s powerful GPU ensures accuracy and allows viewers to experience these works as envisioned by the artist. Layer’s investment success has also received support from notable investors like Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, highlighting a thriving market for specialized digital art hardware. The company plans to build a sustainable ecosystem for artists through royalty payments based on how long their artwork is displayed on Layer screens. In essence, Layer pushes the boundaries of what we consider ‘art’, offering a glimpse into the future of dynamic digital creativity.
