Latest Updates from Our Project:

The Black Hole in a Sphere and on your Wall
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Dec 14, 2022 at 10:22:13 PM

It´s only 6 Days to go until our new campaign is finished.

We worked hard on this one and we are still improving and creating new prototypes that will be available in the pledge manager, so don´t hesitate to back us right now! 

So far, we made several perspectives of the mind-blowing black holes available as a Wall Light and in a Sphere.

Overview of our Wall light sizes and types

 This is the first version we offered of a Black hole in a Sphere. But our Backers asked for a more iconical view of the black holes, even if it is nearly impossible...

Version 1 - Tidal disruption event

 Please wait for a few seconds, GIFs are loading.

So we came up with this version, but there might be more possible...

Version 2 - Accretion Disk

This is our latest approach, but we still have some difficulties in the generation of our laser dots, so a real prototype might come when the campaign is already closed...

Our latest approach for a black hole in a Sphere

 Why not Kickstarter?

This time we worked together with Backerkits Crowdfunding platform because we were invited and wanted to give it a try. Get more insights here and join us now!

As Hot as the Sun! New Campaign+New LED Base: The Solar System in a Sphere - True to Scale

In less short:

New Campaign: The Solar System True to Scale
 

As many of you have already learned from our mail, we are working on a new campaign that will go live this year. We want to laser the Sun and its orbiting planets + moons into our famous spheres. We have the scientific approach to show the planets in their real size ratio. Thus the earth is not even a pale blue dot, but a single lasered voxel.

We would also like to include the orbits in this way, but the Earth alone, even at this tiny size, would be 5.4m away and Uranus with its 1.8mm diameter 103.6m.

9 Planets 9 Cubes

Furthermore, we want to laser the 9 planets into a set of small cubes (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the speculative Planet 9).

This way we could at least put the cubes in the right distances to our 5cm sun in the sphere or throw them or shoot them with a catapult.

New LED Base in Negotiation

We are in negotiation with a manufacturer of smart LED bases, whether we can sell these to you. Actually, nothing speaks against it so here are the first pictures that I have made with it. A detailed presentation will follow in the campaign, but one thing is said...the spheres and cubes look even better in real life than in the photos.

Landing Page

Here is our landing page for the upcoming campaign: We would be happy to see you signed up for notification, so we can get a nice impact on our campaign right from the beginning.

Share the news with as many people as possible!

Fun facts

As in our previous campaigns, we would like to present many interesting facts about our models in our updates. Maybe we will also make a small booklet again.

For example: Did you know that the ice giants Neptune and Uranus are not cold at all? The atmosphere consists of a hydrogen-methane mixture that becomes a hot fluid due to the enormous pressure. Further inside, phenomena like hail and even whole icebergs of diamonds are suspected.

But then why are they called ice giants?  Find out in our campaign!


Many thanks and best regards,

Announcing our latest campaign!
over 4 years ago – Fri, Jun 12, 2020 at 01:45:25 AM

Hi supporters,

We hope you are all loving your glass art! Today, we have a big announcement for you: We’ve launched a new campaign!

We’re taking you from macro to micro with the Microcosm in Glass: Viruses, Bacteria, and Cells laser etched in the crystal glass you know and love.

We appreciate all your support in the past and hope we’ll be seeing you over at our new campaign soon! Here’s the link so you can add our latest designs to your collection!

Visit the campaign here.

Thanks again for being such a great community,

Gogo on Indigogo - We Want to Reach New Coasts to Find New Treasures, Join Us so You Don´T Miss Any!
about 5 years ago – Tue, Sep 03, 2019 at 10:54:19 PM

Of course we will come back and launch our new innovative projects on Kickstarter first because Kickstarter was the Kickstarter that made us successful. Nonetheless, we also want to take the chance and find new supporters on Indigogo. For this reason, we decided to make a product, that is either new nor already existing, the Milk-E-Wall. This one centimeter thick glass is illuminated by RGB Leds and has the Milky Way laser etched inside. We plan different variants, from small to large. The largest will be 40x40 cm.

This is only one variant of the Milk-E-Wall

We also made a new prototype of a base...the SpaceBase and here is the first footage.

The SpaceBase

Last but not least we made a stunning video compilation of the past three years of CinkS labs, that will be our campaign video for our Indigogo campaign.

I guess, like in the past on Kickstarter, it is also very important on Indiegogo to get your support within the first day. Therefore we want to kindly ask you to support our campaign right from the beginning if you want to support us again. You can go to our preview page and subscribe here:

Thank you for all the support!
