Urban Archaeology Lab
Urban Archeology Lab
Founded in 2430
Is a laboratory that revolves around imagining and constructing the future of Archaeology
All the ‘Archaeological finds’ presenting here originate from the waste of 21st-century
Urban industry and daily discards
Such as
Bricks, concretes, sand, and receipt papers
......
Through
the operation of human craftsmanship and advanced technology
These materials
begin to intermingle and adhere to one another
Developing new textures
And
some
Even seem to come alive
As they breathe and release bubbles
These materials begin to intermingle and adhere to one another
