WindowSight is a new platform for artists to earn money by offering their art in high quality. Artists have their art published in the app and get paid according to the amount and time of TV displays, so they earn for the direct enjoyment of their work.
Plus, they get all features of a Premium user, which means they can use the app to display their and other artists’ work for free.
At WindowSight, everything revolves around empowering the artist.
In order to offer the best content, and let art be the center of attention, WindowSight is committed to being a true asset to the artist’s career.
Apply here to send us a request. In order to become an Artist Member, we will require some information and links to your website or Instagram to see your work and verify ownership. Our curators will review your application and get back to you soon.
WindowSight is exclusive to active professional visual artists. We aim to provide an alternative income that can ease or increase the artists’ recognition as professionals and overall, enhance quality in the arts.
Through your application, our team will validate that you are active as an artist and that you have a demonstrable professional career.
General Requirements:
Before applying, make sure your art’s resolution is suitable for high quality TV display (minimum of 8MP for image and 1080×1080 for video) and that you have at least 30 artworks to share on WindowSight.
Bear in mind that if your artwork is not naturally digital, it must be digitized in appropriate conditions to ensure a good experience when displayed.
WindowSight welcomes professional visual artists from all around the world who wish to give their audience a new experience with their work.
Art on WindowSight must provide a valuable experience when watched in HQ on TV. That’s why artists on WindowSight share artworks that are fit for TV display.
Users explore through Collections, playlists, artists, tags… They can follow artists and then manage their favorite content through likes and playlists. Premium members get a HQ digital experience of the art on WindowSight by displaying it on their televisions.
The Image Manager is the desktop workspace where artists upload their art, set up their Showcase and organize their content. In it, they define and classify each artwork, create Collections and send their submissions to the review team to have them published on the app.
Artworks get published on the app after being reviewed by the WindowSight team.
Artists upload their content through the Image Manager on our website. Once an artwork has been properly defined and classified, the artist sends it to the Queue, where it undergoes a quality check. Once it’s validated, it gets automatically published.
Only Artist Members can publish their art.
Artists get insight into their art’s performance on their private Statistics page, where they also keep track of their earnings and growth on the platform. They get information on who is watching their content, for how long, their scope… Which might help them pick where their next exhibition should be.
WindowSight is a social tool. Artists can share their own preferences in playlists, create different Collections of their art, tag their content so it gets discovered easily and gain notoriety through Compilations.
You get paid for the amount of time a user spends on your content.
Artists receive monthly payments from the users that have watched them: Premium users’ membership fees are distributed according to time spent on each artist’s content in relation to the overall time spent displaying content. At the end of each month, artists get the total sum from all the users who have watched them.
Each of an artist’s works is tied to a revenue percentage, usually 50%. The percentage applies to the profit generated by the user: their subscription fee minus the expenses generated by themselves (such as bank charges).
The Agreement is a set of clauses which determines the understanding between the platform and the artist. These clauses will be subject to the Spanish legislation and are aimed at the protection of data.
