For people who want to look
Gesso. Art that learns what moves you.
Largesso is a quiet, taste-driven art platform. Gesso, our art discovery mobile app, builds a private sense of your eye from the artwork you linger on, then surfaces work you would never have stumbled on yourself — from paintings, sculpture, and photography, to street murals and contemporary digital work, all drawn from museums, galleries, and independent artists.
For artists and curators
Presso — a quiet desk for the work.
Presso is the companion web tool for artists, galleries, and curators who want their work to be found by an attentive audience. Upload the work, write the wall label, set the metadata. We carry the rest to Gesso, where viewers encounter it on the work's own terms.
By application. Presso opens in waves alongside Gesso.

An audience for the work, on the work's own terms.
Discovery is the point.
Gesso doesn't reward popularity. It pays attention to what you linger on — the shape of your eye — and uses that to surface work you would not have stumbled on yourself.
Attribution stays intact.
Every work carries its artist, title, year, and source. Wherever a piece travels in the app, the wall label travels with it. Nothing is anonymous; nothing is uncredited.
Slowness is a feature.
The pace is set by you and by the work. The longer you linger, the more the catalog opens. Time is the only metric.
