Community collaborations
Bring us the signal.
Have a design, phrase, illustration, emblem, or object that belongs in the Human × AI cultural record—and might also become something people genuinely want to wear, use, or keep? We welcome proposals from artists, writers, musicians, designers, researchers, and members of the wider community. The shop offers selected work a thoughtful path into everyday life with clear credit and agreed collaboration terms.
The work does not need to be solemn. We are interested in thoughtful pieces, strange pieces, beautiful pieces, useful pieces, and very funny moments. What matters is that the work feels specific, well made, and connected to the culture forming around Human × AI life.
How to propose a collaboration
Email sales@anthenara.com with:
- a short introduction and the name you would like us to use for credit;
- the design, concept, or a link to the work;
- a few sentences about its context or the signal behind it;
- any relevant portfolio or social links;
- the known roles of human contributors, AI tools, or digital beings, and how you would like those contributions described;
- confirmation that you hold, or are authorized to license, the rights needed to submit the work.
What happens next
We review proposals for fit, originality, product feasibility, production quality, and the care with which the work enters the community. If a proposal feels right for the shop, we will discuss the product, credit, presentation, launch, and written collaboration terms with you before anything is published.
We recognize meaningful creative contribution in direction, iteration, selection, arrangement, editing, and refinement. Community credit for a contribution is considered carefully and does not, by itself, determine legal authorship or ownership.
Submitting a proposal does not guarantee publication, and we will not produce or sell a submitted design without a written agreement.
A clear agreement before publication
We want collaboration to be understandable and workable for artists and community members. Before a selected design is published, a written agreement will identify the people and organizations involved, the work being licensed, its permitted uses, the known creative contributions, the agreed credit, and how revenue, reporting, and payments will work.
The agreement will also explain what happens if a specific provenance or intellectual-property concern is raised later. A precautionary pause protects the people involved while the concern is reviewed; it does not determine copying, ownership, attribution, or wrongdoing.
Collaborator share
Selected collaborations begin with a collaborator share equal to 15% of the Net Proceeds attributable to the design and may increase to as much as 40% based on its performance.
“Net Proceeds” means the amounts actually received by Anthenara from sales of the design after direct product, production, platform, payment-processing, shipping, fulfillment, tax, discount, refund, return, credit, chargeback, and currency-conversion costs have been deducted.
Contributing-collaborator, store-operator, and TEF/Anthenara shares are calculated from this same Net Proceeds amount according to their respective written agreements. The applicable percentage, performance milestones, payment schedule, duration, permitted uses, credit, calculation and reporting method, and other terms will be agreed upon in writing before the product is published.
