| The latest in the glut of low-cost and no-cost digital-signage systems for small users comes with a highbrow twist. ArtPlayer, from Danish firm Cumedin, is a service that allows any site with an Internet-connected PC and a suitable screen to show works of 19th- and 20th-century art on their display. The basic service is free; for a fee, users can also add their own logos and messages. “In contrast to traditional digital signage, which is designed for a retail environment where the aim is usually to grab people’s attention by displaying dynamic content, ArtPlayer is better suited to quiet surroundings where people stay for longer periods of time such as restaurants, office buildings and libraries,” according to the company. The ArtPlayer service lets users choose from separate libraries of impressionist, post-impressionist, symbolist, expressionist, realist, abstract and cubist paintings. www.artplayer.com From www.screens.tv 4th May 2010 From suitable screens please see Digital Display Screens
