Heterocosmic Museum of Art - The Commission

Commission a Parallel Portrait

The Heterocosmic Museum of Art has spent years acquiring works by artists from parallel universes — people famous elsewhere, unknown here. The collection departs from an obvious bias: it begins with names we already recognise.

The Elsewhere corrects this.

By purchasing this ticket, you commission the museum to search on your behalf. You tell us who you are in this universe — your life, your work, your obsessions, the things you have done and the things you have not. We identify your counterpart in a parallel reality: an artist who shares your origin but not your path, someone who in another world became known for what they made.

We acquire one of their works. We write their biography. We install the piece permanently in The Elsewhere, the underground floor of the museum — publicly visible to every visitor, attributed to your parallel self.

What you receive:

• A unique license key to submit your commission form
• A Divergence Point named after you on the Reticulum map
• A letter from your parallel self, delivered to your inbox (PDF)
• Your parallel self. In the collection. Permanently
• Certificate of Discovery (PDF)
• Notification by email when your work has been installed

How it works:

1. Purchase this ticket and note your license key
2. Visit the Heterocosmic Museum and request a commission
3. Fill in the form — the more you share, the richer the result
4. Enter your license key and submit
5. The museum will contact you when the work is ready

One ticket. One portrait. One universe where you were the artist.
