How it works

Four steps to a living archive.

StudioNXT is not complicated. It is designed to work the way a working studio works. You bring the material. The system holds it, organises it, and makes it useful for as long as you need.

Here is how it works, from the first upload to a complete, lasting record.

Step one: Build your archive.

Start with the work itself. Upload images, audio recordings, videos, and documents into one structured system. Each artwork gets its own record: medium, dimensions, year, materials, edition details, status, location, and price. Nothing is left to memory.

You can upload a single piece or an entire body of work. The archive grows at whatever pace your practice does. There is no correct order and no minimum to begin.

Step two: Add context.

An image without a story is just a file. StudioNXT holds the thinking behind the work alongside the work itself.

Record a voice note in the studio and Mira turns it into a structured reflection. Write exhibition history directly on an artwork record. Add provenance notes, valuation history, and collector details. The context that gives the work its meaning lives in the same place as the work.

Mira, your studio assistant, can also help. Ask it to draft a biography, write a catalogue entry, or summarise your practice. It works from what is already in your archive, so everything it produces reflects your actual work, not a generalisation.

Step three: Shape your presence.

When you are ready, select works to publish on your public artist page. The page is clean, unbranded, and shareable with a single link. No account required for anyone viewing it.

You control exactly what appears. Works marked private stay private. Works marked public appear in the order you choose. You can update your selection at any time.

Your public page also includes a contact form. Visitors can send you a message directly from the page. It goes to your registered email. Nothing is stored.

Step four: Preserve your legacy.

The archive you build in StudioNXT is not just for now. It is the record future caretakers, collectors, and institutions will rely on.

Assign a legacy contact. They will receive guidance on how to access and manage your archive when the time comes. Create documents that record the full provenance of every major work. Build the written record that speaks for the work when you no longer can.

Legacy Duration members receive a printed archive catalogue every year and a Mira Letter, a legacy document drawn from the full body of work, written in your voice and sealed after a thirty-day review.
