How an edition works
A generative edition is not twelve copies of one picture. It is twelve different drawings from one program, and yours is the only one of its kind.
1
Choose an output
Look at the whole run, on the wall or here, and pick the drawing you want. Each one exists once.
2
We confirm it
The desk checks it is still free, holds it for you for seven days and sends an invoice.

It arrives
The screen file on a USB key with a signed certificate, or the plotter print, signed in pencil.

We help you set up the screen or frame the print. The artist keeps the copyright.
