fig. T Tour

A tour of Archive Industry.

Built by a group of visual artists who needed a way to archive and access all of their past projects — and to show them well. Here is everything it does.

Templates with a point of view

Every template is designed around a kind of practice — a white cube for painters, a darkroom for photographers, a screening room for film, an instrument panel for musicians. Your content stays put when you switch, so you can try them all.

An archive, not just a website

Organise everything you’ve made into albums and series with titles, years, media and dimensions. Choose a layout per album — masonry, grid, slider or strip — and give every work its own record page.

Moving image, done properly

Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link or upload your own files. Films open in a dark screening room, preview silently on hover and sit beside stills and credits.

Show, share and sell

A contact form that reaches your inbox, links to your shop or checkout, email-list sign-ups, private albums for clients and curators, and news, events and shows that keep the site current.
