In the Summer of 2012, we developed a very innovative app to crowdfund the restoration of Venetian Public Art, with support from the UNESCO Venice Office.
Download a pre-alpha Android version below.
To use the app outside of Venice, you will need to install the "Fake GPS" app from Google Play onto your cell phone. Then move the map to Venice and pick a location.
The phone will be "fooled" into thinking it is in Venice and the app will work...
With our new AgentsCloud technology, each piece of Public Art is endowed with its own intelligence and will send alerts to interested users of the app, when IT thinks that IT needs new information or donations for ITS OWN restoration.
Click on any object on the app, then open the experimental web page at preservenice.org and see what happens when you click on the Donate $1 button on the app.
