Specimen 14 - Distribution Chamber

Specimen 14 – Distribution Chamber

Artifact Log — Day 072

A central chamber configured for outward transmission.
Multiple ports extend from the core, suggesting a system designed to circulate, divide, or disperse internal contents rather than contain them.

The spherical body functions as a hub, while the protruding nodes operate as points of transfer—inactive yet expectant.
Mirror glaze reflects external presence, implicating the viewer as part of the distribution cycle.

As an artifact, the object records a structure built for movement without instruction.
What is distributed, to whom, and at what cost remains unresolved.

Dimensions: W 21 cm × D 21 cm × H 21 cm
Materials: Stoneware, mirror glaze

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.
