Eye
Your companion for looking at art — in a museum, at a fair, at home. It finds you something worth your attention, helps you understand what you are looking at, and keeps what you cared about.
For anyone who loves art, is curious about it or studies it. No need to already know what you are looking for. Free.
I
Discover
Something to discover, each day.
An artist and a work each day — one considered choice, never a feed to scroll. The Artist of the Day can be read without an account.
II
Identify
What is this work?
In a museum, photograph a work or its label. Eye finds the work and its museum record: title, artist, collection. Identifying a work is never limited.
III
Read
Read a work closely.
“Read this work” gives a careful first reading: what can be seen, the context it suggests, and what remains uncertain. It never attributes a work and never values it.
It reads paintings and drawings, and sculpture in a first, provisional coverage.
IV
Keep
Keep what you saw.
Your Library keeps the works you kept, the artists you follow and the readings you made; your Visits keep what you saw, room by room. Each time builds on the last.
V
Go further
One work, read slowly.
Close Reading: a single work read slowly and in writing — what to look at first, what the painter chose, what the eye usually misses.
Is it free?
Yes.
Eye is free.
No card, no expiry. Each month: 10 readings and 30 questions a month; identifying a work from a photograph is unlimited.
Eye+ lifts the monthly limits — £6.99 a month, VAT included, with the Artmetria Eye app.
On your phone
Made for
the museum.
Eye has its own app, Artmetria Eye, for iPhone and Android: the camera recognises a work or reads its label, and what you keep follows you.
Until it is in your store, Eye works fully in your phone's browser, and you can add it to your home screen. Eye is the only Artmetria product built for the phone; Market is a professional product for the computer.
A painting at home?
What Eye will not tell you.
Who painted a work, whether it is authentic, what it is worth: those are questions for a specialist who can examine it. Eye never attributes, authenticates or values a work, and shows no prices. What it gives you is a careful first reading — what can be seen, what it suggests, what remains uncertain — often the best way to prepare the visit to an expert.
A painting at home: what to do →Your data
Yours, and private.
What you keep in Eye is yours. The sense Eye forms of your looking is built from your own choices, by explicit rules — never a score, never a label — and you can withdraw it, then erase it. Eye data is never used for advertising. Your personal Eye context is not automatically transferred into Market's professional context.
