ARIES
ARIES is one of the digital projects of The Frick Collection created in collaboration with specialists from different institutions such as the Digital Art History Lab (DAHL), the advanced students from the New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering, and also the Federal Fluminense University in Brazil, South America. Art historians are constantly analyzing images in a detail orientation for research purposes. In this way, they can create exhibitions and tell a narrative for the public. However, when they need to work remotely, they do not have digital tools that can provide more collaborative hubs for them. The Frick Collection created this software in response to this necessity, and through ARIES, art historians can study art collections by manipulating images in a flexible and comprehensive approach.
Licensing
ARIES is in a beta version that allows art historians to interact and manipulate images through the software in a simple and easy way. They can explore multiple sources such as websites, scans, and photographs.
Licensing
Administration
ARIES does not perform administration tasks.

Collaborative work
One of the most significant aspects of ARIES is that it motivates scholars to explore what the digital tools can offer to them. In this sense, the physical and digital work can merge together in a way that can generate the desired outcome, which is to work collaboratively between art historians and scholars from different backgrounds.
Collaborative work
In summary, as art historians are used to working with images to study and select artworks to display on exhibitions, they are constantly analyzing, in a detail orientation, images in a way that they can tell a narrative for the public. By using digital, professionals in the field of art history will be working fluently, exploring and organizing, visually, images of art collections, while contributing to the study of arts with new connections. ARIES is free and easy to use, so it is contributing to a culture of openness and accessibility for a specific target market, that is in need of collaborative and unified interactive software tools.
