Alpha Parallax One Seven Seven - Limited Edition of 1 Print

Vision of a type 2 civilisation, made up of many individual civilisational entities. Their creation of a hollowed out planet that uses tidal friction in a pronounced elliptical orbit around its star to generate geothermal energy. Held in place not by infallible engineering material but rather by a lattice of vectored gravity AP 177 is the construction of the otherwise impossible. 20 million floors 147 sentient variations, 12 000 km from sky to sky. This vision of a hollowed out planet evolved from its initial high school imaginings to an environment where multiple species can coexist via the varying light, controlled gravitation zones and temperatures across this world. A combination of classical drawing and computer enhanced post production brings out the vibrance of this fantastical world without the sometimes coldness and sterile feel that purely digital rendering can give. The imperfections and texture in the original paper drawing are preserved using this method.
