# Artist-Curated Desktops The Kuvva Platform Injects Creativity into Your Digital Space By Christopher DeLuca | Published 2011-09-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuvva-platform References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/style_design/designer-style-curated-desktops/) & [kuvva](http://www.kuvva.com/) The Kuvva platform has taken a unique approach to connecting artists to audiences: the company has artists curate a weekly set of images that rotate as your [desktop screen savers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-cube). Kuvva’s stated mission is to “transform dead space into creative space.” The Kuvva platform is innovative in how it connects artists with an audience. What I particularly like about the platform is how you can easily discover new artist and the amount of variety that you encounter. Companies like Kuvva create a culture of appreciation for artists that do not have a recognizable brand. **Implications** - The emergence of websites like [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klydoclock) and [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etsy-and-kacey-musgraves) have given artists an opportunity to connect with an audience in a way that was never before possible. The consumer has a desire to find unique and original art works. Companies should consider ways that their marketing initiatives can bring these two groups together. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artist-curated Desktops:** Creating a digital space for artists to curate weekly rotating desktop screen savers. - **Connecting Artists and Audiences:** Creating platforms that allow artists to easily connect with and showcase their work to a wider audience. - **Cultivating Appreciation for Unknown Artists:** Building platforms that promote and appreciate lesser-known artists, giving them a chance to gain recognition. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Providing innovative platforms and technologies for artists to display and sell their work. - **Technology:** Developing tools and platforms that enhance the digital experience and foster creativity. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Exploring ways to connect artists and consumers through marketing initiatives, creating mutually beneficial partnerships. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mobile Artwork Purchasing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cohart-platform.md) - [Design Inspiration Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vault1.md) - [Design Showcase Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/todaysdesign.md) - [Art Identity Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/idart.md) - [Tattoo Design Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-design-platforms.md) - [Creative AI Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/train-visual-content-1.md) - [Personalized High-Quality Wallpapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/device-wallpapers.md) - [Curated Website Suggestions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curation-of-curations.md) - [Joyfully Curated Homepages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curations-club.md)
