TAKE A SNAP, GET GLIXED

a glixy manifesto

GLIXED is a one-of-a-kind indie social media platform designed to offer a new way of sharing the unique moments of your life.

Snap & Anonymize

Automatically anonymize faces with GLIX tiles

Privacy First

Focus on moments, not personal data

Artistic Approach

Transform social media into a collective art project

Community-Driven

Connect in new and meaningful ways

Most of us are socially active on platforms like Instagram. Our brains are saturated with constant external inputs from others, and our thoughts and moods are increasingly influenced by algorithms. These platforms encourage us to create curated versions of ourselves, showcasing only the "best" moments, feeding into a cycle of comparison and validation.

I'm not even touching on how this system allows giant corporations to track our every shit, turning us into their products by harvesting our data and attention. Despite these issues, we remain deeply attached to these platforms, relying on them for both social interaction and business (also us!). We get our short-term dopamine pumps, and in return give them lots of things for free.

Over the years, we've seen startups attempt to democratize social media by merging "visual sharing" with emerging technologies like Web3. But we wanted to take a different path, one that’s more unique—an interactive statement piece that connects people in new and meaningful ways.

That's where GLIXED comes in. It’s an escapism app designed to turn social media consumption into something creative and purposeful, while contributing to an ongoing art project.

You SNAP your photo or video, and you get GLIXED. The app automatically anonymizes your face (or all faces in the frame) with GLIX tiles (also known as GLICPIXXXVER002 NFTs), the design foundation of GLIX STUDIO products. No need to worry about how you look, your name, or your identity. You’re just another GLIXED person in the community!

Let's break away from the norms, escape the endless scroll, and create something truly unique together!

Challenging Social Media Norms

GLIXED challenges traditional social media by removing the need to project a perfect persona. It’s about capturing the experience, not the appearance. Whether you’re at a concert or in the street, GLIXED shifts focus to the shared energy of the moment.

Anonymity and Privacy First

In a world obsessed with data tracking, GLIXED offers freedom. Your privacy is protected—your identity stays hidden, and the creativity shines through. Snap a street photo, and GLIXED turns the scene into a mosaic of moments, with no personal data harvested.

An Artistic Approach

GLIXED is more than an app—it’s a digital art project that redefines how we engage with social media. Every snap contributes to a collective visual tapestry, blending anonymity and shared experiences. We believe it will inspire you to rethink your relationship with social platforms and spark new ways to connect and create.

GLIXED isn’t just another social media app. It’s a movement—a techno-artistic statement that invites you to question identity, privacy, and the way we experience the digital world. Let’s break away from the norms, escape the endless scroll, and create something truly unique together!

Footnote: GLIXED and glix.social are part of the GLIX STUDIO ecosystem, with exciting features coming soon, including chat functionality, GLIX HUB meta-social app, and integration with our Virtual World, GLIXITIES, for an even weirder, immersive experience! As GLIX STUDIO, we started with the vision of blending physical and digital realms with our products and aesthetics; thus we will keep working on expanding our ecosystem!
