The Red Violin: Timeless Memory
The Red Violin
Have you wondered why someone would spend millions on antique art? A movie The Red Violin has an answer. The movie's main character is a red violin, filmed from the violin’s point of view. From its birth in Cremona Italy during the 1700s. To its ownership by an English lord in Britain during the 1800s Victorian royal era. Then, its near destruction in Shanghai during the 1900s Cultural Revolution. And eventually, its auction for millions in modern day Montreal. The Red Violin is based on the real life violin of 1720 called the Red Mendelssohn, which sold for $1.7million in 1990
Timeless Art Appreciation
As an art appreciation, the violin lets you hear and touch memories of the past. The violin plays a string of past life memories shared with its human owners.
Tutti wants to amplify this timeless appreciation for art. The violin's stories will be remembered through Tutti's authentication tag. Scan the Tuttitaged violin with your phone camera and you can watch a real life version of "The Red Violin".
The shared memory could be a digitized certificate of authenticity issued by the original violin maker as well as stories of the owner, appraiser, restorer and other professionals that have taken care of the violin.
Or a performance recording by a musician with the violin. Like this 2020AD pandemic era shared memory with a masked performer.
