About this project

For every dollar you inchvest you get a square inch of your own in Detroit that you'll be able to create on. Over the last few months I've been working through the first phase of the project. So far 4,200 inches have been claimed by nearly 250 people, mostly though Kickstarter:

LOVELAND Kickstarter Round 1: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jerry/♥☑♥☑♥☑♥☑♥-1-million-inches-in-det

LOVELAND Kickstarter Round 2: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jerry/loveland-2-first-there-inch-a-thousand-then-ther

The first 10,000 inches are part of colony called Plymouth that currently exists on the floor of my studio at the Russell Industrial Center. There's not much to do with your space...yet. But there will be. The pioneers who move into Plymouth gain special status as Founding Forefathers and Foremothers of the overall LOVELAND grid as it expands elsewhere in the city.

The project is being developed like a game or a story with new twists and elements being added regularly. The somewhat mysterious video posted with this project hints at one of the next additions. ;)
