Foundryon: The Next Phase of the Galactic Fossils Experiment

The summer break is almost over, and so is the pause here on Orbitlog. A lot has changed in just a few weeks—more than I expected. While the news cycle makes it feel like nothing moves forward, my own work leaped further than I thought possible. It feels like I covered more ground this summer than our entire civilization managed in years.

This space—Orbitlog—isn’t just about updates on my creations. It’s about the people who are pulled in by that same strange, obsessive question: what if there really is something out there? Not in the vague, clickbait sense, but in the tangible way of trying to imagine it. What would it look like to stumble across a trace of life on an exoplanet? What if it wasn’t human-level intelligence, but something earlier, like Homo erectus? Or—on the other side of the spectrum—something far more advanced than us?

My objects, the steel “fossils” I design, exist in that space. They aren’t meant as museum relics but as speculative finds—cosmic artifacts forged from a material born when stars die. Steel makes sense here: eternal, heavy, and part of the same cycle that turns stellar death into new worlds. One day, when our sun vaporizes Earth, that cycle will end for us too.

That brings us to the shift. Galactic Fossils as a name felt too much like a dusty museum label. It had the right seed of the idea, but the wrong energy. I want this project to live in the present, with the people who spend their time chasing possibilities, not nostalgia. That’s why it’s evolving into something new:

Foundryon.

The name comes from “foundry”—a place where metal is melted and shaped—and “on,” a sense of forward motion, continuation. It’s where imagination gets forged into something you can hold. Foundryon is the umbrella for everything I’m building: the objects, the blog, and even a new subreddit where the community can gather.

The official relaunch happens September 2025. Until then, keep an eye out for something else: small galactic tokens scattered across the streets of Landshut, Germany. Find one, and it will lead you deeper into the Foundryon universe. They’re out there, waiting to be picked up, claimed, and connected back here.

This isn’t just about design pieces. It’s about building a community around fascination itself—around imagining what’s possible out there, in the void.

Orbitlog is back. Foundryon is beginning.
