The Realization
It all started in 2017. I was witnessing, lens in hand, the vitality of Cotonou's art scene. We documented, we exhibited, we celebrated.
But faced with digital diffusion, a realization imposed itself: our works were circulating, disembodied, untraceable.
"Without an infrastructure of proof, creation is just content. And content is ephemeral."
It was necessary to go beyond the image to build the frame. I left the studio for engineering, convinced that Blockchain would be the foundation of our new sovereignty.
The Architecture
Atilebarts defines itself today as a **Cultural Infrastructure**. A complete system designed to serve two entities: the Artist and the Institution.
- 1. Atilebarts (Governance)Strategic vision and institutional relations.
- 2. Noutala (The Workshop)Creation and management tools for sovereign artists.
- 3. Axis (The Bridge)The interface between the physical work and its digital value.
- 4. Meridian ID (The Seal)Certified digital identity for cultural actors.
The Commitment
We do not replace the curator with the algorithm. We give the curator the tools of immutability.
Through the **Noutita Context Chain**, we guarantee that each work retains its history, context, and humanity, even in the global digital flow.
