Artribune launches audio articles via Deepen platform
Artribune, the Italian contemporary art and culture platform founded in 2011, has partnered with Deepen, an audio-journalism platform, to offer audio versions of its articles. The collaboration aims to adapt to changing reader habits by transforming reading into active listening, using machine learning algorithms to personalize content. Articles are read by professional speakers and can be accessed via a player below the first image on each article page, with adjustable playback speed. The service targets moments when reading is inconvenient, such as driving. Existing podcast series like Monologhi al Telefono and Contemporaneamente continue alongside the new audio-articles. Examples of available audio content include pieces on Luigi Ghirri, De Chirico, Vivian Maier, libraries, non-assessor cultural figures, the film Koyaanisqatsi, and sneaker history. Artribune also offers newsletters (Lettera) and WhatsApp updates.
