Case Study: Clyfford Still Museum achieves immersive online collection access with Cogapp

Clyfford Still Museum opens 3,125 works online with Cogapp

The Clyfford Still Museum sought to bring its extensive collection of Clyfford Still's artworks online for the first time, providing a high-quality digital experience that matched the contemplative nature of its physical museum. They partnered with vendor Cogapp to build an online collection that would serve their audience, which includes a large number of visitors seeking a recharging experience.

Cogapp developed a responsive online collection featuring high-resolution, downloadable images with deep zoom. A key innovation was the "slow looking" feature, designed to deliver an immersive, recharging experience online. The solution integrated seamlessly with the museum's existing Qi collections management system and Luna DAMS, ensuring new works automatically appeared online without any additional workflow for staff. The project was highly praised, including by the New York Times, and is believed to be the first digital implementation of such an immersive experience across an entire museum collection.
