Mail & Collaboration
15+ years of Google Workspace administration. We migrate galleries, collections, studios, and estates off fragile web host email or personal accounts into a resilient, collaborative environment with Shared Drives and personnel lifecycle provisioning.
For mission-critical email and daily collaboration, self-hosting is a continuous liability and absolute reliability is required. With 15 years of continuous Google Workspace administration, we manage domain migrations, configure secure shared drives for team and external collaborator access, and handle controlled personnel onboarding and offboarding.
| Core Platform | Google Workspace Business / Enterprise |
| Migration | DNS & MX Cutover, Full Email Archive Ingest |
| Collaboration | Google Shared Drives & External Collaborator Access |
| Personnel Lifecycle | Controlled Provisioning, Passkeys & Secure Offboarding |
Database Migration
Inventory management, data manipulation, and migration. We clean and restructure fragmented spreadsheets (Google Sheets, Excel / XLSX), legacy FileMaker databases, and Artlogic records into unified systems to eliminate duplicate data entry and metadata chaos.
Artwork inventories are frequently trapped across scattered spreadsheets, unmaintained Excel documents, legacy FileMaker databases, or fragmented exports. We clean, manipulate, and migrate these records into structured, reliable systems (Artlogic, Airtable, Notion, or custom databases)—standardizing edition numbers, artist records, and provenance history to eliminate duplicate data entry and metadata chaos.
| Source Formats | Google Sheets, Excel (XLSX), FileMaker, CSV Exports |
| Target Systems | Artlogic, Airtable, Notion, Custom Databases |
| Data Operations | Data Cleaning, Deduplication, Re-structuring & Migration |
| Core Objective | Eliminate Duplicate Data Entry & Metadata Chaos |
System Care
White Glove preventive care for critical art archives and studio infrastructure. Periodic drive diagnostics, RAID health monitoring, SHA-256 bit-rot audits, and simulated disaster recovery tests across your gallery, collection, studio, or estate.
White Glove preventive care for cultural collections and estates. We monitor storage health, verify cryptographic checksums, and conduct simulated disaster recoveries to ensure archives remain 100% accessible.
| Service Tier | White Glove Preventive Maintenance & Inspection |

| Integrity | Automated SHA-256 Bit-Rot Verification |
| Disaster Recovery | Annual Bare-Metal Restoration Simulation |
Working Method.
DISCOVERY
We review your existing setup across software tools, hardware, storage, Wi-Fi dead zones, and legacy media carriers. We map operational friction, software redundancies, and technical blind spots across your gallery, collection, studio, or estate.
ADVISING
Independent, vendor-neutral guidance tailored to your working methods. We help you select the right platforms, cut unnecessary software subscriptions, and establish a clear technical roadmap before touching any active systems.
IMPLEMENTATION
Modular, phased deployment scoped to your immediate priorities. Whether resolving a single friction point—such as an urgent email migration, Wi-Fi dead zones, or a media installation—or deploying complete storage and device environments, implementations are scheduled without interrupting daily operations.
CARE
Ongoing preventive maintenance, scheduled system verification, and on-call technical assistance during exhibitions and art fairs. Available as scheduled periodic check-ups or responsive standby when you need it.
Custody & Open Standards.
We adhere to international digital preservation frameworks (OAIS / ISO 14721) and prioritize Open Standards and uncompressed master formats (Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Linear PCM audio, TIFF). For digital artwork editions and cryptographic provenance, we integrate Sovereign IPFS Archival Pinning (Beta) for content-addressed permanence across multi-decade technological shifts.
Our commitment to Data Sovereignty includes a strict no-cookie policy. We utilize privacy-preserving, anonymous analytics to monitor infrastructure health without tracking individual user behavior or collecting client information.
Furthermore, our technical architecture emphasizes Sustainable Hardware Lifecycles and local-first computing. We advocate for high-durability solid-state players, custom reproducible NixOS appliances, energy-efficient local NAS configurations, and responsible hardware reuse to minimize electronic waste.
