“LLLinkages”
Owners of LLLinked squares are linked to other owners in different ways. Owners are linked:
By square
There are a total of 100 people who own each square. One person owns the original art and 99 people own prints. Every owner of a square is linked to 99 other people who also own that unique square.
Example: the owners of square P2P2 are linked to one another
By adjacent squares
Each square has eight adjacent squares. Every square owner is linked to 799 other people who own an adjacent square to their square.
Example: the owners of square P2P2 are linked to the owners of squares P1P3, P2P3, P3P3, P1P2, P3P2, P1P1, P2P1 and P3P1.
By origin and end
Each square has its own origin point — the point which the geometric shapes of LLLinked grow from. Those shapes travel and end in other squares. Every square is linked to the squares that contain the geometric shapes from its origin point. Because the shape created from every origin point is organic and varies in shape and size, the number of people linked in this way varies.
Example: the owners of square P2P2 are linked to the owners of squares P2P3, P3P3, P3P2, P2P1 and P3P1.
By links
The geometric shapes from every origin point are linked together at a limited number of points. Square owners are linked to the square owners that their connected shapes link with (Example A). Square owners are also linked to the square owners that contain their link points (Example B). The number of people linked in this way varies.
Example A: the shape created from the P2P2 origin point has six links. The owners of square P2P2 are linked with the owners of squares P1P2, P2P3, P3P3, P3P2 (two times), and P3P1.
Example B: the shapes created from the P1P2 and P2P1 origin points are linked on the square P2P2. The owners of squares P1P2 and P2P1 are linked with the owners of square P2P2.
By x-axis
Each square owner is linked to people who own squares on the same x-axis. The number of people linked increases as LLLinked grows.
Example: the owners of squares P2P3, P2P2, P2P1, P2N1 and P2N2 are linked to one another.
By y-axis
Each square owner is linked to people who own squares on the same y-axis. The number of people linked increases as LLLinked grows.
Example: the owners of squares N2P2, N1P2, P1P2, P2P2, P3P2 are linked to one another.
By sheet number
There are a total of 1200 people who own the squares that make up a particular sheet. 12 people own the original art and 1188 people who own prints.
Example: the owners of Sheet No. 1 are linked to one another.
By print number
The prints of LLLinked are printed by the sheet and then cut into twelve squares. Therefore, the 12 square owners who own a particular print number of a sheet own the exact same piece of paper it was printed on. And because each sheet is cut by hand and therefore imperfect and unique, these 12 squares are the only squares that link perfectly together, right down to the paper fibers.
Example: the owners of Print No. 52/99 of Sheet No. 1 are linked to one another.
