みんなのりんご — everyone’s apples— apples

Everyone starts from the same apple and adjusts it until it matches the one in their head. What you see here are other people’s apples, shown as they were made — to look at, not to remix.

Statement

One apple, seen by everyone, kept privately. applantasia makes that private image comparable without making it shared.

The base image never changes. Each person moves six sliders — hue, saturation, brightness, sharpness, contrast, detail — until the apple on screen is the apple in their head. Nothing is uploaded; only the six numbers are kept, and the apple is rebuilt from them wherever it is shown. The gallery is view-only by design: another person’s apple is their qualia, not a preset for yours.

同じ一枚のりんごを、頭の中のりんごに合わせて調整する。保存されるのは画像ではなく6つの数値だけ。集まったりんごは見るためのもので、混ぜるためのものではない。

How it works
Six variablesHue, saturation, brightness, sharpness (blur), contrast, detail. Every apple in the collection is exactly these six numbers.
No images storedThe collection keeps values, not pictures. Each apple is rendered from its numbers on the fly, so the archive stays small and every apple stays faithful to its maker’s settings.
Post, then shareJoining the collection and sharing to social media are two separate actions. One writes your apple into the gallery; the other hands you a saved image for your own timeline.
Where you are fromA self-reported country or region per apple — not a location fix — because the work is about roots, not GPS. Planned as a globe view for international showings.
