Tap the art to interact with it, tap the title for the artist, the story and the edition. SAVE AND CURATE Like it, save it, and group what you've saved into curations. Saved is the collection; curations are the rooms. SEARCH Every artist and collection in the catalogue, or paste a contract address and open the collection. PLAY IT ON THE TV Mirror to any AirPlay screen and the art fills it. Save a piece as a wallpaper, or add the Ezel Gallery widget and let a collection you choose rotate on your Home Screen or in StandBy. JOIN THE CONVERSATION Comments on every piece, a profile with your own handle, and tracks that grow as you collect, curate and comment. Report and block are one tap away; what you report disappears for you at once, and a person reviews it. WALK THE HUNT When a hunt is running, artworks are hidden around a real place.
