How LITO Democratizes Art with 3D Technology

Oftentimes, art and culture are reserved for the social classes who can afford to access them. LITO aims to break down these barriers and create art for everyone, making art more accessible and demonstrating new possibilities in the field of art creation and restoration. To achieve this, the company uses 3D technologies to digitize existing masterpieces and reprint them using a state-of-the-art proprietary printing process. LITO collaborates with leading museums, institutions and contemporary artists to preserve works of art using its approach, or to produce replicas or limited-edition creations. In this interview, Joachim Marte discusses the inner workings and motivations of LITO and highlights the potential of 3D technologies in the field of art.

3DN: Could you briefly introduce yourself and LITO?

Hello, my name is Joachim Marte. I’m CEO and co-founder, with John Dodelande, of the Austrian company LITO. It was founded in 2022 with the aim of democratizing the art world, giving access to art to a wider audience, and redesigning the way art is experienced, collected and lived.

With LITO Masters, art lovers and collectors can enjoy faithful reproductions of their favorite works, without having to compromise on quality or authenticity. With LITO Editions, on the other hand, we ask leading contemporary artists to design original works which are then rendered and developed into limited editions in the LITO Technology Lab. Our team of LITO experts offers their unique know-how and works with the artist to find the most creative solutions and forms, adapted to the artist’s visual language.
