Aequorea Victoria

Aequorea Victoria is a communication company based in Ireland. We build tools, and art, that connect people.

What We Do

Most technology is built to hold attention. We build for connection: spaces where people meet through what they make, what they feel and what they are curious about, not through metrics. Today that means two products: Aequorea, a home for art and the people behind it, and Nomie, an app for conversations that go deeper than small talk.

Aequorea: Art Without Algorithms

Aequorea is an alternative social network and virtual space for artists and art lovers. No algorithms. No likes. No follower counts.

We believe art should be experienced, not consumed. Modern platforms optimise for engagement, turning creators into content machines and audiences into metrics. Aequorea strips those mechanics away and returns the focus to the work itself, the story behind it, and the person who made it.

Every artist gets the same space. Feeds are chronological. Nothing is ranked, promoted or buried. What you see is what people chose to share.

Two Doors, One Account

The app is a pocket museum for iOS and Android: paintings, photography, music, film, books and text, in a pure chronological feed, with room for the words behind each piece.

The Museum is a single seamless 3D space on Steam that you walk through with other people. Classic works hang beside new ones; you can talk, leave comments on the walls, and hang your own art in a room of your own.

One Aequorea account opens both. Upload on your phone, and it is waiting for you on the wall.

What We Show

Paintings and classic art, user-submitted work, photography, music, movies, books and text. If it was made with intent, it belongs here.

Nomie: Conversations That Matter

Nomie is built on the same belief that people deserve more than shallow interactions. Where Aequorea connects people through art, Nomie connects them through conversation: a social platform that replaces small talk with questions that matter, so friends, couples and new people can actually get to know each other.

• Nomie: meet new people through shared curiosity, matched on personality, values and interests rather than endless swiping.
• Nomie Connect: a guided journey through five levels of intimacy, for friends, family and partners.
• Sweet & Spicy: a mode made for couples to explore romance, vulnerability and play.
• Quiz mode: write a quiz about yourself and see how well the people close to you really know you.

Nomie is available on the web at nomie.so, as apps for iOS and Android, and as physical card decks for dinners and trips without a screen in the way. It has its own account, terms and privacy policy, separate from Aequorea's.
