Now, ikono realizes Markevitch’s vision through carefully curated playlists and global art broadcasting. In addition to its worldwide reach—which includes SmartTV programming with access to over 200 million households; a 24/7 online stream for all online and mobile devices; and over 100,000 Amazon downloads in only five months—what sets ikonoTV apart is the way it reframes the way art is experienced.
