Spacecrafts (Venus) – studio Antimundo

Ceramics crafted from a chemically replicated Venusian soil, exploring ancient technology for future space missions.

Departing from data gathered since 1972 by Soviet, American and Japanese probes it has been possible for this project to faithfully recreate the chemical composition of the surface soil of planet Venus.

This extraterrestrial soil has been used as clay, and consequently shaped, turned, and burnt transforming it into ceramic pieces.
As much as ceramics was a fundamental technology to sapiens’ civilizations it remains deeply relevant to our present, nowadays it is even used as a component of space shuttles.

Probably the process behind ‘Spacecrafts’ will be useful to space missions in the future since it provides clear understanding regarding the production of ceramics out of the harsh soil of planets such as Venus or Mars.
