While traveling extensively through Europe, founder Ted Acworth has come across a number of museums and Roman archaeological sites that have exquisite ancient mosaics on display. Being surrounded by art made up of thousands of small tessera, color properties from the physical material itself, enduring thousands of years led him to appreciate that mosaic is a physical, tangible art form unlike any other. Artaic was established in 2007 to make the beauty and artistry of the mosaic medium more accessible. With the creation of sophisticated design software and an innovative robotic mosaic assembly system Artaic brings the ancient art of mosaic to a new level.
