An imaginative XO workshop where several hands work together on a glowing object

Current challenge · 001

Help 21 Voyagers
on their way.

A small object can begin a big story. Together, we want to bring 21 Voyagers to life — and let them travel from studio to studio.

Discover what we are making together

First chapter · agreeing on the design and budget

From an idea to something you can hold

Collect a beginning.
Pass the story on.

Imagine a Voyager on a maker’s workbench. It comes with a question. Someone creates an answer, adds a memory and passes it to the next keeper.

A studio becomes an exhibition. An encounter becomes a new task. And what began as a small object brings together people who might never otherwise have met.

Our first goal: to fund 21 physical Voyagers by Henevor through sales to collectors, with his own artistic interpretation. They could then travel to studios, fairs and schools.

This is the plan for the first challenge. Henevor’s commission, budget and schedule are still being agreed; sales have not opened.

Where are we now?

Each step makes
the next possible.

Follow what actually takes shape: from design to prototype, from the first keeper to the next Passage.

  1. 01

    Now · preparation

    Finding the first form

    Working out the design, budget and first edition.

  2. 02

    Next step

    Making it possible together

    Opening the offer once its contents, costs and delivery are settled. The contribution toward the 21 Voyagers will then be clear.

  3. 03

    After that

    Letting the Voyagers travel

    Keepers receive a piece, complete a task and pass it on with a new chapter.

Proposal · the first challenge edition

One story.
Four pieces.

Four numbered cards, each with its own role and journey. A tangible reminder of what we set in motion together.

XO · CHALLENGE 00101/04

Maker

It started here.

For the maker who gives the idea its form. The first piece stays connected to the edition’s beginnings.

The story of this piece

The piece comes with the maker’s name, the design and the story of that first step.

XO · CHALLENGE 00102/04

Seeker

Where will it go?

For the seeker looking for the next place, encounter or task. An invitation to set something in motion.

The story of this piece

A new destination gains meaning through what actually happens there. The next task is agreed during the handover.

XO · CHALLENGE 00103/04

Witness

I was there.

For the witness who records what happened. This piece could later travel to another collector through a public auction.

The story of this piece

The auction is a proposal. The owner, terms and intended use of the proceeds will be announced before it opens.

XO · CHALLENGE 00104/04

XO Roadmap Fund

Room for what comes next.

For the XO Roadmap Fund: a piece we intend to use to support a specific next development.

The story of this piece

We will state in advance which development it supports and how much will be available for it. Holding the piece does not give you a share in a fund.

4 physical pieces · individual digital links planned

This is the edition concept, not a printed or minted offer. Neither issuance nor an auction has opened. The four cards are separate from the 21 travelling Voyagers.

In a future sale, buyer and seller determine the price. The design, its journey so far and the shared chapters give you something to base that choice on.
