For three centuries, ownership of a masterpiece meant proximity to the object itself.

clean provenance
verified structure and autorship of the reconstruction
Investments in digital art objects establish an alternative model of ownership for cultural assets — based on museum-grade 3D reconstruction, verified uniqueness, and legally recorded ownership rights. A digital object is not a file. It is a singular artefact — one edition, no copies, with verified ownership and documented provenance.
fractional ownership
full ownership
- exclusive ownership rights to the digital object
- single, one-of-one edition
- full control over the object and its future use
- shared ownership of the object
- a fixed, documented ownership share
- proportional value growth of the share as the object's valuation increases
Two ownership formats are available for digital art objects
Each format is based on a transparent rights structure and is recorded in the object's passport.
Ownership rights to a digital object are confirmed through a multi-layered system combining a physical medium, digital authentication, and official documentation.
Each digital object is registered in the Tithonos provenance system — a Swiss-certified infrastructure designed for institutional-grade ownership records and long-term preservation. All ownership events are logged in a secure, verifiable registry, forming a provenance record that begins at the first day of reconstruction and follows the object through every transfer.
The owner receives official documentation confirming ownership rights, the ownership format, and a Tithonos Key-Coin — a certified physical proof of registration issued by Tithonos GmbH, Switzerland.
Each digital artifact is accompanied by a passport documenting:
The passport ensures transparency of origin and enables long-term asset management.
- object identification
- ownership format (full or fractional)
- scope and structure of ownership rights
- ownership and transaction history
The passport ensures transparency of origin and enables long-term asset management.
Each Heredis Atelier object is accompanied by a Tithonos Key-Coin — a certified physical medium issued by Tithonos GmbH, Switzerland. The Key-Coin links the holder directly to the object's provenance record in the Tithonos Registry, where ownership history, reconstruction documentation, and transfer events are preserved for institutional-grade verification. The physical coin may be held, transferred, or passed through inheritance alongside the digital object itself.
Key-Coin — certified physical proof of ownership
Digital Object Passport
The digital object becomes part of a private collection with an institutionally verified ownership history.
The investor or collector receives:
Digital art objects are integrated into a collecting model comparable to the classical art market.
Participation in the growth of both the cultural and investment value of the object
Documented provenance (including Tithonos-registered ownership record)
A manageable digital asset
The ability to transfer, gift, or pass the asset on through inheritance
Museum-grade reconstruction methodology
Singularity of the object
Legally recorded ownership rights
Separation of the digital artifact from mass digital content
Fundamental distinction
Each digital object is based on a methodology used in museum and academic practice. Reconstruction is not treated as a visual interpretation, but as a research-driven process that includes the analysis of archival sources, historical descriptions, technological characteristics, and the working principles of master craftsmen.
The digital model records not the external appearance, but the structure, proportions, materials, and logic of fabrication. This approach brings the digital artifact close to a museum reconstruction and makes it suitable for archival and research use.

Each digital artifact exists as a single, one-of-one entity. The absence of editions or replication excludes mass reproduction and firmly establishes the object’s status as a unique work.
Singularity ensures:
Singularity ensures:
- collectible value
- the ability to establish provenance
- comparability with original works of art
Ownership of a digital object is formalized through official documentation, an object passport, and registration in the Tithonos provenance system — a Swiss-certified institutional registry. This structure creates a transparent and verifiable ownership model and eliminates the uncertainty typical of most digital art formats.
The formalization of rights makes it possible to confirm ownership by a specific holder, manage the object as an asset, and transfer ownership, gift it, or include the digital object in an inheritance estate. As a result, the digital artifact acquires the status of a legally defined, manageable cultural asset.

Digital objects are fundamentally separated from the market of mass digital content and speculative digital formats. They are not reproduced, not distributed via open marketplaces, and do not function as streaming or consumable visual products.
Each object is created within a research-based, museum-grade methodology and is strictly tied to documentation, recorded provenance, and ownership rights. In this context, the digital artifact exists as a singular cultural object with a defined history, status, and institutional framework, rather than as consumable digital content.

Heredis Atelier digital artifacts are not typical NFTs and not reproducible digital art. They are registered not on open blockchain networks, but within the Tithonos institutional provenance system — a closed, certified Swiss infrastructure designed for cultural assets of lasting significance.
They are the digital equivalent of unique works of art, grounded in rigorous research, defined by singularity, supported by verified ownership rights, and established within an institutional-grade framework of documentation and provenance.

FAQ
All intellectual property sits with our Swiss Verein: research archives, source code, model weights, and the encrypted “Digital Original” masters. The Verein runs the on-prem infrastructure and curatorial access policy. Heredis Atelier GmbH holds a perpetual exclusive commercial license (with sublicensing where appropriate) to monetize the works while the Verein retains non-commercial research rights.
Each work has a single encrypted master; no duplication or downloads are allowed. Public use relies on curated derivatives for exhibition/press only (watermarked, time-bound, and logged). Access is key-controlled with audit trails, and upon sale the master is delivered on a personalized encrypted drive with full documentation of ownership and access terms.
Ownership is verified through our partnership with Tithonos GmbH (Switzerland) — a provenance registry built for long-term preservation of ownership records and institutional authentication. Each Heredis Atelier object is registered in the Tithonos system at the moment of completion. The owner receives a Tithonos Key-Coin as a certified physical proof of ownership, linked to an immutable provenance record. This approach replaces speculative digital formats with a Swiss-standard institutional framework.
The investor acquires a legally defined ownership interest in a unique digital art object created through museum-grade 3D reconstruction. Ownership may be structured as full or partial and is documented through an official object passport, contractual documentation, and on-chain registration.
In the case of full ownership, this includes exclusive rights to the digital artefact as a singular cultural asset. In the case of partial ownership, the investor holds a defined, documented share in the object, with rights proportionate to the acquired interest.
The digital object is treated not as a file or license, but as a unique, non-replicable cultural asset with established provenance and verifiable ownership.
