The Gaian Project celebrates nature. With its yearly
digital album release inlcuding designs, music and
articles it inspires to preserve our planet.

Over the past six years a group of over 10.000 designers - members 
from Behance, deviantArt and other big design websites - joined us. 
In 2010, Steffen Knoesgaard, Fredrik Ekholm and Simon Holmedal, 
created the first ever moving imagery for the community art 
project Gaia: The Gaia10 official trailer. Two years later the 
project has evolved from coordinated yearly releases, into an
ongoing collaboration as the community run website gaian.me 
To mark the new direction of the community, curator Marius 
Bauer returned to Steffen and Fredrik and commissioned an 
updated trailer. Seeing this as an excellent opportunity to blow
off some creative steam, they conceptualized an idea to recreate
the trailer based on the original thoughts, but updated for 2012.
During the process designer/animator Linus Lundin - a long time 
collaborator, joined the project as well as musician and sound 
designer Jochen Mader.
