Introduction
And now it's yours is a continuous action of transferring ownership of things/artifacts to individuals and groups. The things/artifacts in question are part of my Collection of Things.
As soon as I declare the transfer of ownership to a named individual or group, my ownership of the specified thing/artifact comes to an end and the transfer of ownership is complete. The only thing I retain is the copyright. I may reproduce and publish the thing or a representation of it in any form I like. In case of a physical thing, it is up to the new owner to take possession of it. This can be done either via personal collection, instructing someone else to pick it up or via sending me the postage so I can dispatch it. After the transfer of ownership I hold no responsibility for damages to the thing/artifact. Needless to say, the longer the thing/artifact is in my possession, the greater are the chances of damage.
Every object is numbered. I don't publish the names of the new owners; they are kept in a database. I only publish the number, a representation (for example a photograph, a video or a description of it), the place of discovery and/or creation and the date of the transfer of ownership.
The recipients are selected and notified of the transfer of ownership on social media channels such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.The selection and notification procedure might change.
