Feral File vs Layer

Explore digital art first. Add the Art Computer when you're ready. Feral File lets you browse digital art through playlists and channels, right on your phone. Some of it is computational: art that runs, responds, or evolves through code. You don't need any hardware to start. Explore, see the works you already own, and get a feel for how this art could live in your space. When you're ready to bring those playlists to a screen, add the Feral File Art Computer. It plugs into any HDMI display and plays the same playlists on your wall. Use the app on its own to: - Browse playlists curated by Feral File and invited artists and curators. - Explore channels from artists, institutions, and projects across the ecosystem. - Add your Ethereum and Tezos addresses to see works you own or steward in My Collection, organized into playlists. Add the Art Computer to play on screens: - Plug the Art Computer into any HDMI display and pair it with the app. - Pick a playlist and press Play to turn a TV or monitor into a surface for digital art. You can download and use the Feral File app without an Art Computer. The Art Computer and other DP-1 players are optional hardware that bring the same playlists from your hand to your wall. About Feral File Feral File is a cultural institution and technology company focused on digital and computational art.
