Institutions / Civic & correctional

The buildings people cannot choose to leave.

Lobbies, waiting rooms, public buildings and correctional facilities - environments where what is on the wall does measurable work.

Vasari whitepaper - Ambient Art in Correctional Settings

Psychological, behavioural and institutional impacts

Correctional settings are among the most closely studied environments for the effects of visual stimulation, and the findings run to behaviour and staff conditions as well as to the people held there.

Our white paper collects that literature and sets out what a streamed art program can and cannot be expected to do in these settings.

Why streaming fits

Built for environments with real constraints

Nothing physical to secure

No framed works, no fixings, no glass, and nothing with a resale value. The art lives on screens that are already installed and already accounted for.

Centrally controlled

Programming is curated centrally and changed centrally. There is no local library to police and no way for content to be introduced at the device.

Zone by zone

Different programming for public lobbies, waiting areas, staff rooms and residential units, assigned separately and adjusted at any time.

Reportable

Utilization reporting by zone and period, suitable for oversight bodies and for the funders who often underwrite these programs.

Scope a facility with us

Tell us the setting, the screens already in place and the constraints you work under, and we will tell you what is realistic.
