THE COLLECTION
Lightvessel is both an NFT collectible and a wall mountable physical sculpture. The Lightvessel collection includes 100 NFTs paired with 100 Physical sculptures that will be sent out to the NFT holders around the world at no additional cost. The project’s releases are broken into several stages. For further information, see the Lightvessel roadmap.

DIGITAL
Each Lightvessel NFT is a 1/1 digital animation that is paired with a physical version. Lightvessel owners are encouraged to keep their digital NFT and physical objects together in order to unlock all of the features including syncronized digital and physical airdrops. The NFT is also a certificate of ownership.

PHYSICAL
As the first owner of a Lightvessel NFT you will have the option to redeem a one-time usable code to unlock a physical edition of your Lightvessel NFT. Your physical item will be shipped to the location of your choice for no additional cost. The Lightvessel is designed to be viewed in normal lighting conditions and does not require electricity, although plugging in the electrical cord will add light features. All lighting is done with LED’s or energy efficient light sources. Each box has a different interior build so the type of lighting and effects can vary. There is an emphasis on high-quality production standards. The materials used are all premium museum quality and built to last, the size formats I am using are non-standard which adds considerable cost to produce the 80 x 80 cm engravings, and the extra-large format archival film prints. Extreme care has been devoted to the production of every box.

THE ROADMAP
Lightvessel is only getting started and was the subject and title of my Masters Thesis in Media Art & Design at the Bauhaus University, Weimar (Lightvessel, August 2021). Each of the 100 boxes are a unique work of art and are published on KnownOrigin.io. Each piece is built one at a time as the project proceeds. With each Lightvessel sold I am able to further increase production speed and reach the goal of 100 boxes sooner. Thank you for your interest and support of this project!

FAQ’S
The Lightvessel can be securely attached to any wall with the supplied French cleat – this is easy to install and insures that the square is perfectly level.
The Lightvessel is 80 x 80 cm squared and 5 cm wide.
Extra care has been taken in the package and product design to avoid damages. I am only working with professional shipping companies and shipped items will be insured against damages.
No you don’t need to redeem the physical version immediately. The physical item can be redeemed anytime in the next 12 months from the release date (24.09.2021), so for those who prefer to hold only digital items have this option.
If you want to sell the NFT I would suggest including the cost of universal shipping in your price as I have done. When you receive a Lightvessel it will include information on my shipping service and costs to make the process as simple as possible.
The choice to keep the NFT & Physical together is completely yours to make, although I am only able to provide technical support and additional utility for NFT owners.
I cannot offer refunds. This is mostly because of the high cost of international shipping and insurance. I will be regularly available to all collectors via Discord, Twitter and my website to provide any technical assistance if you have any questions.
