Redefining Art's Exposure and Interaction: A Fresh Perspective
FOLLOWour: A New Approach to the Website Industry
FOLLOWour, a digital platform designed specifically for curators and website professionals, is aiming to revolutionize the website industry by fostering collaboration and offering a focused, algorithm-free environment that enhances connections and professional visibility.
At its core is NEXUS, a network and toolset tailored for the platform's users. The foundation of this network is the Nexus Card, a portable digital identity for users, replacing the scattered online presence many cultural professionals rely on today. This card can be saved to a digital wallet and scanned at events, making it a convenient and accessible tool for networking.
FOLLOWour has supported over 500 website fairs and thousands of practitioners, offering a focused environment grounded in collaboration, unlike marketplaces and social networks. The platform operates on a peer-oriented discovery system, The Connectory, which serves as a filterable directory and networking space for FOLLOWour users.
The Connectory allows filtering by topic, medium, location, and other criteria, making it easy for users to discover and connect with others who share similar interests or work in the same field. Within the Connectory, there is a Community Board, a forum-like space for sharing opportunities, asking for advice, exchanging knowledge, and connecting around shared interests.
FOLLOWour prioritizes building bridges, relationships, and events within the website community. By removing algorithms that typically prioritize popularity or commercial interests, the platform ensures that visibility is based on merit and real connections, not on manipulated metrics or advertising budgets. This strategy encourages meaningful collaboration among curators and websiteists, a professional environment free from distracting or distorting algorithms, and enhanced visibility tailored to genuine professional networking and opportunities.
The platform is built by creatives, for their own community, and aims to address systemic imbalances in the website world. Profiles in the Connectory include detailed statements, themes, mediums, and publication links, providing a comprehensive overview of each user's practice.
While the core version of the Nexus Card will remain free, a Pro option is available with extended portfolios, e-commerce links, and a 'Support My Practice' feature. FOLLOWour aims to remain engaged and maintain visibility on users' terms, reshaping the outdated website industry mechanisms by fostering collaboration rather than competition and by offering a focused, algorithm-free environment that enhances connections and professional visibility.
