Think of it as license plate for artwork and we are the DMV office for the art world--without the long lines.
ISEN is a holographic label issued to an artist with all the information about their artwork contained in it.
They stick this permanent label to the back of their work, (or anywhere they see fit) and we can then keep track of who buys it, where it ends up, as well as it's last known condition.
Like Big Brother, we keep an eye on things, so you don't have to. The difference is, we're the Good Guys.
This way, collectors can pay big bucks, assured in knowing the art they purchase is the real deal. The artist has kept their side, of the "edition" bargain, by only producing what was promised--and not one item more.
ISEN helps the artist manage their editions and ensures that collectors haven't bought a "back alley," under a trench coat, version of their work.
Its so easy! The next generation will thank us for keeping such great records of their future assets.
If you're an artist, you need to catalog your work with ISEN. If you are a buyer, look for that hologram. If an ISEN label doesn't appear, who knows, it may not be the actual work. ISEN is your guaranteed protection.
And you, the researcher, librarian or art dealer, will be happy to know, you can now catalog LOTS OF art work in days rather than months. More time for you to sip cappuccinos and talk "art". No, the coffee is not included.
Like the supermarket, there's a barcode on the ISEN labels, so all you have to do is zap the labels and you gain access to all the cool information about it.
For all you privacy advocate folks, and we know you're out there, you can pick and choose what information to make public or keep private. In that sense, it's even better than the supermarket.
Check it out! Astound your friends with your newly gained knowledge. Be the first one to talk about it at cocktail parties. ISEN, the standard for edition numbering.
That's all we can tell you for now.
