Can I add text panels to a wall ?

What is possible - and looks really great: putting (big) text (artists name, exhibition title, topic, etc.) on the wall. Example: https://artspaces.kunstmatrix.com/en/exhibition/16511/fair-trade
For this, you simply create the text as a picture and upload it like an artwork to put it on the wall.
If you like to have transparent background (as in the example above) please:
- save it as a PNG-picture with transparent background. For long texts or small font you have to experiment a bit with the PNG export settings. One set of settings, which delivers good results in most cases is:
- 1900px (long-edge)
- text: >30 Pt
- export settings:
- color: adaptive
- dither: no dither
- transparency: diffusion dither
- background: none (transparent)
- sRGB: true
- interlaced: true
- Then you upload it as an "artwork". There are three tabs. "BASIC INFO", ADDITIONAL INFO" and "3D-DISPLAY" (see screenshot attached).
- Open the "3D-DISPLAY" tab and then expand the last part "override 3D defaults". There is a check box "transparency" which has to be checked for the transparency to work.
