DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd has opened a “window” for local digital artists to showcase their works.
Gallery W/O Walls (or Gallery Without Walls) is a new service offered by DiGi in partnership with lifestyle magazine, Off The Edge.
DiGi users can view and appreciate the artwork available in the virtual gallery through its WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) portal and download them as screensavers or wallpapers for free.
Currently, there are six art pieces available for viewing and downloading in the virtual gallery.
DiGi is the mobile first service provider to allow users to “own” digital art pieces on their mobile phones.
Noelle Tan, head of value-added services at DiGi, said the service is a new way for Malaysians to appreciate local artworks while giving local artists an opportunity to shine.
“Budding artists want their art to be recognised so this virtual gallery is a good place for them to start,” she said.
She said DiGi plans to make it a permanent feature on its WAP site and are working on making it more interactive for users.
“One of our plans is to set up a forum for users to discuss the artwork,” said Tan. -theStar
