Precision Engineering for the Arts
ArtAV was founded on a simple premise: that technical complexity should never stand in the way of artistic expression. Based in the UK but operating globally, we have spent over a decade becoming the "quiet engine" behind some of the world’s most prestigious cultural moments.
For a Technical Manager or Curator, the challenge is rarely just about buying a screen; it is about finding a partner who understands the nuance of a gallery space or the high-stakes pressure of a theatre opening. We specialise in bespoke AV integration for museums and heritage sectors, where the hardware must be as invisible as it is powerful.
Why Technical Teams Trust Us - We don’t just supply equipment; we engineer solutions for problems that off-the-shelf hardware can't solve. When an installation requires frame-accurate synchronised video playback, we deploy our proprietary sub-frame genlock for multi-channel video to ensure the work remains exactly as the artist intended—forever.
In the theatre world, where there are no second takes, we provide industry-standard media servers from iconic manufacturers such as Disguise and Pixera as well as mission-critical QLab redundancy systems. Our bespoke racks are designed to be fail-safe, giving production teams the peace of mind they need to focus on the performance.
Bridging the Gap Between Eras - Our expertise spans the entire history of the moving image. On one hand, we are at the cutting edge of display technology, managing ultra-fine pitch LED wall installations and delivering uncompressed 8K media server solutions for immersive digital environments. On the other, we are deeply committed to the preservation of media history, providing specialist legacy CRT monitor maintenance for video art to ensure that pioneering works are seen on the hardware they were designed for.
A Global, Sustainable Approach - Whether we are executing immersive projection mapping for public spaces or configuring complex Dante and MADI audio integration for art installations, we do so with an eye on the future. We believe in eco-friendly AV hardware and sustainable installation practices, selecting modular, energy-efficient systems that respect both the planet and your long-term maintenance budgets.
Bespoke AV integration for museums and heritage
From our headquarters in Middlesbrough to the galleries of the Venice Biennale, ArtAV remains dedicated to one goal: making the impossible, technical.
