Principles

The first generation of the Essenomes, that was once created in the artist’s workshop, was first composed of twelve Essenomes. At their top, a King and a Queen, inchanging.
Around them, the ten subjects are destined to leave the original community and to migrate with their buyers.
Each one is then immediately replaced by a new Essenome from the second generation, then from the third generation and so on…
The original tribe is recomposed around the King and the Queen, and swarms its members until it forms a planetary community. The community of the Essenomes is thus in a perpetual expansion and in a permanent regeneration.

Formation of the communities 

Any gathering of Essenomes founds a community. By principle, a community becomes a tribe when it is full composed of a twelve painted polyptichs.
Within each tribe, there can be filiations of generations; it is possible for an Essenome to mix with another one, whatever the generation.

Identification of the Essenomes 

Each Essenome is provided with a real identity card, composed of photograph and its name, which allows to know its place in the genealogy of the Essenomes and, possibly, its geographical location.
The name of each Essenome is made of a combination of letters and numbers according to a process of identification developed by the artist.
Moreover, each migrating Essenome is recorded and located on Google Earth.

Collection of Essenomes 

Each collector can acquire one or more Essenomes, coming from the same generation or from different generation. Thus, he settles a community, that can possibly become a tribe!
If he wishes it, the collector can join the community of the owners of the Essenomes, through bonds and an Internet site which is dedicated to the universe and the current events of the Essenomes. On this website, the collectors can exchange and converse, but also take part actively in the Essenomes development project of a planetary community.
