Italy, 15th May 2026 — IMBUED, a university spin-off from La Sapienza University of Rome, launched a Kickstarter campaign on 12 May 2026 to support the development of its MetaMuseum platform, a digital environment designed to facilitate participatory approaches to art and creative practice.

The campaign will run until 26 June 2026 with a funding target of GBP 65,000.

IMBUED is positioned as a human-centred platform that enables users to engage with artworks beyond passive viewing. The MetaMuseum integrates elements of exhibition space, creative tools, and community interaction, allowing participants to explore, interpret, and produce digital works. The platform is being designed to eventually integrate emotion-aware AI tools that support collaborative creativity and artistic exploration. Helping users reinterpret and evolve artworks in ways that reflect both creative intent and emotional context, without reducing the experience to purely automated generation.

The project is informed by the concept of the “Beholder’s Share,” whereby the viewer contributes to the meaning of an artwork. Within the platform, user interpretations may generate new outputs referred to as Certified Digital Artworks (CDAs), which can be registered via an integrated blockchain-based system.

A representative of IMBUED stated:
“The project is based on the principle ‘I Art Therefore I Am’, reflecting the view that creative expression is a universal capability. With ‘Let’s Make Art Happen’ as a guiding ethos, we are building a space where technology—including AI—supports human creativity rather than replacing it. The Kickstarter campaign is intended to support early access and community participation in the platform’s development.”

The initiative is developed through a multidisciplinary framework spanning neuroscience, psychology, physiology, and computer science, in collaboration with La Sapienza University of Rome. This foundation also informs IMBUED’s exploration of emotion-aware AI—systems designed to better understand how users experience and respond to creative work, rather than simply generating outputs on demand. The platform will contribute to ongoing research related to creativity and human perception.

Campaign Details:

· Launch Date: 9 May 2026
· End Date: 24 June 2026
· Funding Target: GBP 65,000

Indicative Stretch Objectives:

· GBP 200,000 – Android platform development
· GBP 300,000 – NFT and blockchain marketplace functionality
· GBP 500,000 – Advanced creative editor with expanded AI-assisted tools
· GBP 1,000,000 – Expansion into the United States and EMEA markets

The platform operates under the principle “0% Engagement — 100% Inspiration,” reflecting a design approach focused on creative interaction rather than maximising user retention metrics. AI within IMBUED is positioned as an enabling layer—enhancing exploration, interpretation, and collaboration—while keeping the human experience at the center.

IMBUED is a digital art platform developed as a spin-off from La Sapienza University of Rome.

SEO and AI digital marketing agency returns to its legal industry roots under Founder & CEO Gerrid Smith

United States, 15th May 2026 — Fortress, an SEO and AI digital marketing agency, today announced that it is now accepting new clients exclusively from the legal industry. The shift reflects rising demand from law firms and the deep legal-vertical expertise of the agency’s leadership team. Existing non-legal clients will continue to be served without disruption.

Founder and CEO Gerrid Smith brings more than 20 years of digital marketing experience and over 12 years working specifically with law firms. He previously founded Black Fin, a well-known legal marketing agency, which he sold in 2020. Six years later, sustained demand from attorneys seeking results-driven SEO and digital strategy has drawn Smith and his team back to the vertical they know best.

“I built Fortress into a strong agency across multiple industries, and the legal work kept finding us along the way,” said Gerrid Smith, Founder and CEO of Fortress. “The timing is right to lean back in. Law firms want strategic, measurable marketing, and that’s exactly the work our team has spent more than a decade mastering. Refocusing Fortress on the legal industry lets us go all in on what we do best.”

Smith is joined by Lisa Carter, VP at Fortress, who worked alongside him at Black Fin before its sale. Together, they have spent more than a decade refining what works for law firm marketing, from local SEO and AI-driven search optimization to content strategy, technical audits, and link building tailored to competitive practice areas.

“Most agencies treat law firms like any other local business with a bigger budget,” Smith added. “That’s how firms end up with compliance violations, wasted ad spend, and rankings that never materialize. Legal marketing has its own rules, its own search behavior, and its own competitive dynamics. Firms deserve a team that has lived inside those realities, not one figuring it out on their dime.”

Fortress has produced results for firms across personal injury, criminal defense, family law, and estate planning practices. While Fortress does not publicly share its client list, the team is available to discuss specific case results and methodologies during consultations.

About Fortress 
Fortress is an SEO and AI digital marketing agency now focused exclusively on serving law firms. Led by Founder and CEO Gerrid Smith, the team combines over a decade of dedicated legal marketing experience with a results-first approach to SEO, content, and online visibility.
