KU-09: La Reina is inspired by Cuzco bottles from the Inca Empire. This type of vessel was traditionally carried on one's back and was used for carrying chicha, a fermented corn beer sometimes used in Incan ceremonies.
The top part of KU-09 dispenses an antibiotic nanofiber spray technology that can provide an additional protective layer over daily use objects to keep away micro-chemicals and viruses in the atmosphere.
The Kintsugi Upgrades project imagines an alternate future where ancient artifacts are discovered by a more advanced civilization than us who rebuild and augment them with enhanced technologies.
The ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi – which literally translates to “join with gold” – perfectly embodied the spirit of these objects. Through the process of repair and reconstruction, we imagined these objects being even more valuable than the original.
This project began when we came across high quality 3D models of ancient cultural artifacts that had been scanned by internationally recognised museums. We digitally shattered the artifacts and then began reassembling them with new features and components that at we thought might be the type of technology a more advanced society might have.
