Gimasi for Art
Respect, innovation and dialogue between worlds
What are you protecting
Protecting valuable artwork requires precision without compromising authenticity. Gimasi’s IoT art protection solution combines discreet sensor technology with real-time monitoring to safeguard cultural heritage. A prime example is the #MyPrivatePicasso project, where an original painting was equipped with embedded sensors inside a custom frame, enabling continuous environmental and security monitoring while preserving its appearance. The result is proactive conservation, greater visibility, and complete respect for the artwork’s integrity.
To protect artwork without disrupting its visual or historic authenticity, we designed a handcrafted frame that discreetly houses all electronics. This custom frame conceals all sensors and hardware, allowing the original artwork to remain visually unchanged while gaining a smart protection layer.
As a result, museum curators and art conservators benefit from continuous monitoring of environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and more, without compromising the artwork’s appearance or structure.
How the IoT Art Protection Solution Works
The team transformed a static painting into a living IoT masterpiece, seamlessly integrating environmental, motion, and proximity sensors with secure networking; all while preserving its timeless beauty and original charm
| Enviromental Sensing | Temperature and humidity sensors continuously track micro-climate conditions to support optimal conservation. |
| Platform & Integration | Cloud Platform Integration + Rest API |
| Battery | Replaceable AAA lithium batteries, supporting 1,000+ presses |
| Illumination monitoring | A light-level sensor measures lux values, detecting lighting conditions outside safe thresholds. |
| Geolocation tracking | A GPS module provides real-time location data, confirming the painting’s position at all times. |
| Secure connectivity | Sends data to cloud platforms for analysis |
