2tether turns a tap into the whole story — the work's meaning, its certificate, a line straight to the artist, and a live record of everything that happens next. No app. The object does the talking.
A gallery has always kept provenance somewhere else: a certificate in a drawer, a spreadsheet, a memory. 2tether moves it onto the object itself. A visitor taps the frame, not a folder — and the work introduces itself: what it is, why it was made, who made it, and how to make it theirs.
The Name
2tether — a physical object and its digital record, bound to each other and to the artist, so nothing about a piece's story is ever separated from the piece itself. Built on 2twelve os.
Four taps' worth of a visitor's evening — from the frame to the follow-up. This is the whole thing, start to finish.
The chip only holds an ID. Everything that actually matters — the work's story, every tap, every inquiry, every offer, the final sale, who bought it — lives on 2twelve os. Rewritable forever, visible in real time.
The booth marks a sale, and every visitor's phone updates — no payment processor in the loop.
Every registration tied to the piece that brought them in, every offer tied to a name.
Every physical tag mapped to the hardware in the room — swap a chip without losing its history.
Taps, inquiries, and offers, broken out by piece — exportable, not locked in a dashboard.
Memento Gallery · Atlanta Art Fair 2026 — 23 original works by artist Gabriel Tendai Choto, each fitted with a dual-chip system tying every tap, inquiry, and sale back to the physical piece.
Curiosity tracked closely with what sold — 4 of the 8 most-engaged works were also among those that found a collector.
See It Live, at mementoartgallery.2twelve.studio →Every sold piece carries one of these — tied to the object, not a paper insert that can wander off.
