Individuals are increasingly dissatisfied when it comes to finding authentic personal connections online, as well as in real life.

Wasted time, a lack of safety and inclusivity, minimal opportunities for self expression, surface level interactions, distrust and constant disappointment seem to be the descriptors of choice by people who have long used these platforms.

That artists face similar issues, especially related to vulnerability, authenticity, ownership, independence and creative censorship over their work.

These issues directly correlate with compensation and visibility, perpetuating the expression "starving artist".

We are a web-based spatial platform that combines the art economy with social discovery. By empowering users and artists to showcase themselves and their work, SPILT hosts an immersive virtual ecosystem as a new way to forge relationships through self-expression, technology, and the power of art.
