A.A. Murakami, a collective by Alexander and Azusa Murakami, showcased their innovative concept of 'ephemeral tech' during Milan Design Week 2025. Their installations, particularly 'The Cave', utilize robotics to animate ancient animal bone replicas against a backdrop of haunting sounds and atmospheric lighting. By combining technology with reflections on humanity's origins, the installations challenge visitors to contemplate the relationship between past artifacts and future possibilities. Their work blurs the lines between art, nature, and technology, inviting profound engagement.
We wanted to create a very evocative cinematic space using these almost haunting sounds as well as red light flooding the space.
There's a divergent moment where technology itself could become conscious. It was using the ancient past to think about the far future.
