Axis Ibeji
Building sovereign infrastructure for cultural heritage. From digital restitution to blockchain certification.
Axis Ibeji is a cultural technology agency born of a necessity: to build "digital homes" as durable as physical museums.
We operate at the intersection of Art History and Code, translating museum needs into robust technical infrastructure. Our mission is Digital Restitution: ensuring that African cultural data remains sovereign, accessible, and immutable.
Institutional Solutions
For Museums, Archives, and Foundations, we deploy systems that secure memory:
- 3D Digital Restitution: A high-fidelity preservation pipeline enabling virtual repatriation. We don't just make 3D models; we create certified digital twins.
- The Meridian Artifact ID: A mobile certification interface linking the physical artifact to its blockchain registry via NFC/QR, ensuring total traceability.
- Archival Systems: Databases compliant with the Spectrum standard, transforming static catalogs into living ecosystems.
Artist Sovereignty
For Creators and Galleries, we apply institutional rigor to the contemporary art market:
- Phygital Certification: Anchoring the physical work on the blockchain to prove its authenticity.
- Smart Contracts: Like the 'Conscience' project (ERC-1155), we code perpetual royalty mechanisms directly into the artwork.
Philosophy: Helsinki • Cotonou
Axis Ibeji is the bridge between two realities I know intimately: Nordic technical precision (Helsinki) and West African narrative richness (Cotonou). This is where code meets culture.
