Open source & community

Open software for long-term digital infrastructure.

artwork is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License. Organisations can use, inspect, adapt and run the software on their own infrastructure.

01

Free of licence fees

Any organisation can install and use artwork without licence fees. Costs arise for infrastructure, implementation, maintenance and requested development.

02

Adaptable to your workflows

Organisations can modify the software or commission a provider. Open code makes requirements and changes verifiable.

03

Portable operations and data

Data, operations and knowledge are not tied to a single provider. Switching remains technically and legally possible.

04

Development can be shared

New functions can be jointly funded, openly discussed and made available to every organisation.

How the project lives

Code, operational knowledge and responsibility.

The product’s direction emerges through dialogue with participating cultural institutions. Caldero Systems is the development team behind artwork. As a development and service partner, the team can guide implementation, migration, operations and support directly from development. The project itself remains open and free to use.
