We are Artmatr, an art and technology playground for interdisciplinary creatives to compose unique artworks unlike anything else available today. Our proprietary robotic painting technology allows digital artists to transport their creativity into the physical world. With Artmatr, the artist’s only limitation is their creativity, not their tool kit.
Our proposal is to collaborate with Nouns to create beautifully fabricated, one-of-a-kind pieces of art. We will then plan and produce an event to exhibit the works, and help promote Nouns to the traditional gallery world and more traditional collectors as well as gathering the Nouns community under one roof to celebrate Nouns entering the physical world. In summary, our proposal is:
We expect to add real value to the DAO by generating a premium on auction prices because the physical pieces will be sold together with the Nouns auction. For reference, the latest Artmatr-fabricated artwork (for a digital-native artist) sold for more than $250K.
We hope to leverage this experience to explore future collaborations, including fabricating existing Nouns.
Our goal is to create beautiful artworks that will proudly represent Nouns in the real world.

Artmatr’s journey began almost eight years ago, by our founder Ben Tritt, an artist who has spent his entire career searching for ways to integrate his love of painting with the digital world. Way before NFTs, Ben visualized a world where painting and digital tools went hand in hand to create unique pieces of art. His journey took him to MIT, where he started exploring different methods of translating digital art into physical pieces through robotics.
Eventually, these experiments led to several technological products, most notably sophisticated painting robots that can create unprecedented art across different mediums - oil painting, watercolors, airbrush as well as new approaches to digital printing. These capabilities lend themselves to an incredibly flexible fabrication platform that can both mimic artists’ hands through brushstrokes, and create entirely new methods of painting, such as taking code and directly translating it into prints. The fabrication process is intensely creative, given the flexibility of the tools; one piece of art can take on many different forms through the choice of different mediums and variables within the mediums themselves.
Artmatr has already worked with some of the world’s most influential artists, running the gamut of traditional artists such as Jeff Koons, to newer digital artists like Beeple and Tyler Hobbs.
Our vision is to allow digital artists and collectors to translate their works into beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces of art that could be proudly displayed in any gallery. We are currently hard at work developing a software suite that will complement the hardware platform, and are partnering with leading manufacturers with the shared goal of democratizing the creation and sale of physical art.
The Artmatr Team:
Artmatr was founded by Benjamin Tritt, the company's Chief Creative officer, who has been creating and teaching art for decades at places like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Musee D'Orsay in Paris, The National Gallery in London, and MIT, and has seen it as his life’s mission to seek ways to unite technology & art. Rafael Feitelberg, Artmatr’s CEO, served as an executive at Tech Fortune 500 companies and has a proven track record of building, scaling and selling startups in Silicon Valley. Rafael has had a lifelong passion for art and holds a B.A. in Art History.
Together, they have built a diverse team of engineers, business professionals, and artists, who share their vision for creating the industry standard for bridging between digital and physical art.
Artmatr’s Investors:
“We are incredibly excited for the world to see the power of Artmatr’s automated fabrication technology. Artmatr unlocks a new medium for a generation of digitally native artists to express themselves in the physical realm. We believe there is no better collaboration than with Nouns DAO given their commitment to advancing crypto, art and technology.”
