Question 1

What is Ōnic?

Accepted Answer

Ōnic is a curated collection of studio-quality media artworks designed specifically for architectural spaces. Every piece is built for a particular type of environment — responding to scale, light, context, and intent. It is not content for screens. It is content for space.

Question 2

How is Ōnic different from generic digital art platforms?

Accepted Answer

Most digital art platforms are libraries — thousands of pieces, contributed by many artists, organised by style or mood.

Ōnic is a curated collection made by a single studio. Every piece is designed with physical space in mind — the scale of a screen, the light conditions of a room, the pace at which people move through it. Nothing is adapted after the fact. It is built for that context from the start.

Question 3

Who is Ōnic made for?

Accepted Answer

Ōnic is built for architects, interior designers, hospitality operators, retail teams, facility managers, and anyone responsible for how a space looks and feels. If you have media infrastructure and a space that needs to work harder, Ōnic is for you.

Question 4

How is the collection organised?

Accepted Answer

The collection is organised around six spatial categories: Light, Depth, Atmosphere, Nature, Attraction, and Seasons. Each category answers a specific environmental need, and pieces are selected and commissioned accordingly.

Question 5

How often is new content added?

Accepted Answer

The catalogue is updated on an ongoing basis. Full access subscribers can select new pieces as they are released.

Question 6

Can I request content for a specific brief?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can also create bespoke content through Instronic, the studio behind Ōnic. If your needs go beyond what the catalogue offers, we can discuss a tailored project. Get in touch through the access form and describe your brief.

Question 7

Is monthly payment available?

Accepted Answer

Monthly payment for the full access subscription is available on request. Contact us when submitting your access request and we will include this in your proposal.

Question 8

What does customisation mean and what does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Customisation refers to adapting durations, changing colours, adding text or logos, slowing down or speeding up an animation. This is available for subscribers at an additional cost agreed per project.

Question 9

What formats and resolutions are available?

Accepted Answer

Multiple formats are available depending on your installation. When you submit your access request, include details of your display infrastructure and we will confirm the correct delivery specification.

Question 10

How are files delivered?

Accepted Answer

Files are delivered digitally via a secure download link. Delivery timelines and format specifications are confirmed during the onboarding process following your access request.

Question 11

Does Ōnic work with my existing display infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

Ōnic content is delivered as standard media files compatible with the vast majority of professional display systems, media players, and content management platforms. If you have specific infrastructure questions, include them in your access request.

Question 12

Do I need Instronic to install the content?

Accepted Answer

No. Ōnic is designed to be implemented independently using your existing setup. If you need hardware integration, media architecture design, or installation support, Instronic offers this as a separate bespoke service.

Question 13

Can Ōnic content be used across multiple spaces in the same project?

Accepted Answer

Licence terms are discussed on a per-project basis and defined in your contract. Multi-space usage is accommodated — contact us with the details of your project and we will define the appropriate terms.

Question 14

What is Instronic?

Accepted Answer

Instronic is the studio that builds and designs media for physical spaces. It handles bespoke projects, media architecture, and hardware integration. Ōnic is the product arm of Instronic — making studio-quality space content accessible on a subscription basis, without the need for a full bespoke commission.

Question 15

When should I work with Instronic directly instead of using Ōnic?

Accepted Answer

If your project requires content made from scratch for a specific brief, hardware design and integration, or media architecture at scale, Instronic is the right engagement. Ōnic is the right choice when you have infrastructure in place and need high-quality, ongoing content that works in your type of space.
