Frequently Asked Questions

What is Slow Art in public spaces?

Slow Art is silent art on a screen: old master artworks, paced so the mind settles rather than races. In a waiting room it gives people something to rest their eyes on instead of a news channel. ikono curates the films and keeps them fresh. You provide the screen and the wall.

Where can Slow Art screens be used?

Anywhere people wait. Hospital and clinic waiting rooms, spa and wellness receptions, hotel lobbies, airport lounges, coworking spaces and office reception areas. The screen does one job: it gives people something calm to rest their eyes on while they sit with nothing to do.

How is Slow Art different from a TV in a waiting room?

A normal TV is loud, fast and built to hold attention. Slow Art has no sound, no talking and no rapid cuts. Each film unfolds slowly, so the eye can rest on it and drift away again. It is made to calm a room, not to compete for it.

Does Slow Art make waiting feel shorter?

That is what it is for. A calmer wait is a softer wait, and the first impression of your space is care rather than delay. We measure it with you during a pilot rather than promising a number up front.

Is there science behind silent art in hospitals and clinics?

The WHO's 2019 review of over 3,000 studies found a role for the arts in health and wellbeing. Slow Art draws on that work, and calm imagery is already used in hospitals and wellness environments. We keep the claim modest and let a pilot in your own space show the effect.

What do I need to install Slow Art?

A high-resolution screen and an internet connection. The player is cloud-hosted and updates itself, so there is no technical setup, no maintenance and no daily task for your staff. Once the screen is on the wall, installation is quick. Plug and play, then leave it running.

Who chooses and updates the films?

ikono does. Our team curates the artworks, sets the pacing and refreshes the playlists every month, so the screen never loops the same hour of content for a year. It is an ongoing service with dedicated support, not a one-time file you have to manage yourself.

How does Slow Art help my brand?

It gives visitors a calm memory of your space. People arrive stressed and remember how a place made them feel. A screen of quiet art reads as care and thoughtful design, and it does that without a renovation, without noise, and without any extra work for your team.
