OLTA

Olta develops a toolkit that lets creators, studios and companies publish and sell dynamic interactive experiences across art, music and stories. Its central premise, described on the company site as "art that remembers", is that experiences change as audiences interact with them and retain a record of those interactions over time, allowing a single work to evolve across many participants and displays.

The product began as a digital art platform for creative coders, was extended with a dynamic feature connecting on-chain data to artworks for real-time rendering based on collector actions and behaviours, and in February 2024 was positioned as a collective art/experience toolkit that creative teams can use to add audience interaction to their projects. A representative work, Connect, is a browser-based artwork in which each participant adds a point that is linked by a line to the previous contributor's point, with the camera adjusting to highlight each contribution; it is intended for screens at events, galleries, hotels or embedded on a web page. A beta platform described in a startup directory listing positioned Olta as a place to create interactive art, design, music, web games and experiments as NFTs, including VR, AR and real-time immersive work.

Founding story

Terence Reilly, an animator with two decades of VFX and animation experience, and George Baldwin, a creative technologist and full-stack developer who builds code-driven artistic experiences and drawing robots, co-founded the company; the company site states Reilly co-founded Olta in 2021 and dates the launch of their digital art platform for creative coders to 2022.

Business model

Olta supplies a toolkit that creators, studios and companies use to publish and sell dynamic interactive experiences, positioning the works for display and licensing contexts such as events, galleries, hotels and embedded web pages.

Traction

The company site names creators and studios using the toolkit, including Phenomena Labs (an immersive environments and interactive installations studio and curated Art Blocks artists behind the generative projects 'Longing' and 'Apex'), new-media artist Iskra Velitchkova, Eoghan O Keeffe / Epok Tech, and Tamrat, an AR/VR creator and developer.
