VooGlue Team Shares Thoughts on Project

VooGlue brings together a global team of art lovers, community managers, and blockchain developers. Each team member adds to VooGlue’s vision of enabling a fair and transparent art market, enhancing the ability of artists to connect directly with their audience, and using technology to add an extra dimension to art itself.

For the benefit of the VooGlue community who may wish to understand the motives behind individual VooGlue team members, here is some information about the VooGlue team and what excites them about the project:

 

Brian Carew-Hopkins

CEO

“It sometimes takes people a while to really ‘twig’ to what VooGlue is all about. It took me a long time, even after I had the idea of connecting an artwork to its speed painting via a mobile device. It was not until I experimented with the technique I realised artists could add hidden meaning inside the artwork, and then a longer time before I realised the VooGlue facility actually ‘unlocks’ wall hung art. It dawned on me that that artists no longer had to be confined to the surface layer of paint. I realised the opportunities for collaboration between artists, musicians and film studios using VooGlue in new and inventive ways, and the further opportunities with augmented reality and whole gallery spaces. It really is mind blowing. After people get it they can’t stop talking about it. That’s really exciting.

 

The blockchain allows VooGlue to so neatly act as an enabler in the art ecosystem, with the connecting of digital counterparts beyond digital media, into e-commerce and related products with mobile transactions at minimal costs, and when connected with tokenization of art it beautifully transports historical art into the 21st century preserving providence whilst engaging a brand new audience.”

 

As CEO my role is to lead the development of the VooGlue enterprise, with our shared objective of bringing VooGlue to all art lovers, artists, galleries, museums and users globally so it is self sustainable. The VGC token is at the heart of this as it is the means of exchange which allows the art ecosystem to function more effectively and for a wider audience. It brings new creative experiences, and new opportunities for prosperity to people all over the world.

 

Kristine Buenvista

Head Community Manager

“As the Community Manager of the Vooglue Team, I work closely with determined and talented social media specialists to be sure that we are present every time someone needs answers about this new and unique ecosystem.

I am thrilled by the enormous possibilities this social innovation brings to the world. As an artist myself, I am rooting for an art world that is decentralized, inclusive, and fair. I am so looking forward to discovering artists and navigating around new worlds through beauty, concepts, and insights that evoke and challenge my personal truths or deepen my intuitive wisdom about life, others, and myself.”

 

Tania Pickering

Head of Public Relations

Imagine if we had the ‘VooGlue’ concept back when Michelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci created their famous paintings. To know what they were thinking or what really inspired them to paint their art pieces. PRICELESS!

My job is to help artists showcase their work on an international scale. I’m so excited to be able to give artists a great opportunity to articulate the meaning or journey behind the piece created in their own unique voice and style.

 

Ratko Stambolija
Chief Marketing Officer

Art has evolved together with humankind for thousands of years. And now, I think the time has come to help art come to life; to see what the artist saw, to hear his words and to feel at least a glimpse of what he felt while creating the piece – to catch the true meaning and see the invisible weaving behind the beauty of a completed masterpiece. VooGlue aims to make that possible. That’s why I love it.

Besides that, I am a big supporter of decentralization, as it allows the market to become free and fair. And nothing makes me happier than seeing artists being able to follow their dreams. That is another reason why I am so eager to see the change this project of ours will bring.

 

Graham Stone

Content Manager

We are in the very early stages of a technological revolution; perhaps the dawn of what may someday be called the “decentralized era.” Just as in the early days of the Internet there was a lot of confusion about what the new technology meant, presently a majority of people lack a basic understanding of the direction we are moving. My role is to explain to newcomers the implications of, for the first time, being able to create digital scarcity. As it applies to art, this new technology is very much needed so I’m excited to be able to facilitate the positive disruption by helping people to understand what’s coming and so enabling them to make the informed decision to join early-on. Personally, I can’t wait to see how this technology changes art for the better.

 

Daniel Spyralatos

ICO Advisor and Growth Hacking

Having advised several ICOs, Daniel ensures VooGlue follows best practices in the space while additionally advising on organic network growth techniques.

I love the VooGlue concept. Most decentralized projects now offer just another coin for transaction purposes, but not many are so innovative as to include and use the blockchain technology on something like art/museums etc. When looking at a piece of art and being kind of “bored” because there is no explanation of what you’re seeing, VooGlue perfectly fills that gap, providing visual video content for a more interactive experience.

 

Lilian Lim

Customer Care

This project excites me because interlinking art and technology embarks a new era of art evolution. The “gluing” technology brought by VooGlue provides artists more opportunities to flourish. Building a distributed marketplace on the public blockchain promotes the preserving of art while advancing its future. I’m excited to assist customers in their issues and inquiries as this project evolves.

 

Manmohan Rawat

Graphic Design

As a graphic designer I understand the challenge of bringing life and meaning to images. I’m excited to, in the early stages, help make VooGlue’s concept easily understood. In so doing I hope to contribute to the development of a new form of art.

 

Neerja Sharma

Social Media Marketer and Assistant Community Manager

VooGlue is all about art & that’s what makes it an interesting project to work on. I’m quite an art lover which is why I found myself apt for this project.
