Unearthed Artifacts: Post-Cyberpunk Relics from a Forgotten Future presents a series of ceramic works that sit at the intersection of speculative archaeology and cyberpunk futurism. Vancouver-based artist Wilson Makgawinata forms these bulbous, pressure-like vessels through a hybrid process of wheel throwing and handbuilding, pushing clay beyond its familiar functions. Small modular components such as screws, plugs, and spherical nodes are slip-cast and integrated as functional-looking attachments, creating a visual language of connectors, ports, and interfaces.
