About SharedPlanets
|
|
The idea behind this project came to our minds sometime in spring 2006. Our good friends were looking for a special piece of art to their small flat - something colorful, original and with a strong story behind it. Something they will be able to talk to their friends about - more than just: This is a copy of a painting painted by X. Something they will be happy everytime they will take a look at it.
When we told them about the idea of SharedPlanets they loved it very much. The idea they will own a piece of a fantasy planet - and there will be around one hundred other pieces of the planet all around the world - in rooms of other people - was fascinating for them in the same way as it is for us. There will be around one hundred probably very different people around the world which share one great thing - the big painting of a planet.
Pili, an young artist, then started to paint all the images and later his friend - a web programmer - programmed these pages. We have contacted Kagi store to create our secure web shop and at the end of september 2006 started this web.
You can see a few photos from Pili’s work here:

Alphanea
This is the planet Alphanea. You would find it many light years from Earth in a small solar system of the sun Yaonni. It’s surface is mostly quite hot, but there is a few pleasantly cool places too. So cool that you would maybe think about moving there. If it wouldn’t be so far from here... |
