Systems and methods for distributing, viewing, and controlling digital art and imaging

A system for securely storing and reversibly displaying digital content, the system comprising:

• a display device comprising a processing controller, a memory, and a display screen configured to display at least one digital content item;
• a service cloud, comprising a server, a first memory, and a first processor, configured to store and manage the at least one digital content item in a digital library of the first memory, the at least one digital content item configured to be displayed on the display device, the service cloud configured to ingest the at least one digital content item, such that, when the service cloud ingests a digital content item, the service cloud is configured to divide the digital content item into a plurality of particles and divide each of the plurality of particles into a plurality of encrypted slices, each of the plurality of encrypted slices being stored in different memory locations through the service cloud, wherein the service cloud comprises:
• a key vault having a cypher key stored therein, the cypher key having instructions for reassembling the plurality of particles and the plurality of encrypted slices back into the digital content item;
• a communication controller that collects the plurality of encrypted slices from the different memory locations in the service cloud upon request from the display device to display the digital content item and sends the plurality of encrypted slices to the display device, wherein the plurality of encrypted slices are gathered and stored on the display device;
• and
• a crypto controller having an activation code corresponding to the cypher key stored therein, the activation code being configured to activate the cypher key to allow the cypher key to reassemble the plurality of particles and the plurality of encrypted slices back into the digital content item;
• and
• an application having a user interface, the application configured to run on a computer having a second memory, a second processor, and a user input device, and configured to communicate via the Internet with the service cloud and the display device, wherein the user interface of the application comprises:
• a virtual representation of the display device;
• and
• a virtual representation of the digital library, the virtual representation of the digital library including a virtual representation of the at least one digital content item that is movable between the virtual representation of the display device and the virtual representation of the digital library;
• wherein, when the virtual representation of the at least one digital content item is moved from the virtual representation of the digital library to the virtual representation of the display device on the user interface of the application, the application sends instructions to the service cloud causing the service cloud to send the at least one digital content item in the digital library to the display device thereby causing the at least one digital content item to be displayed on the display screen of the display device, and
• wherein, when the virtual representation of the at least one digital content item is moved away from the virtual representation of the display device on the user interface of the application and back into the virtual representation of the digital library, the application sends instructions to the service cloud causing the service cloud to remove the at least one digital content item from the display device thereby causing the at least one digital content item to be removed from the display screen of the display device.
