Daniel Arsham is an American multidisciplinary artist and co-founder of Snarkitecture renowned for his concept of Fictional Archaeology, where 20th-century pop consumer relics—boomboxes, cameras, Pokémon, and sports cars—are cast in volcanic ash, hydrostone, and blue calcite crystal to appear as excavated artifacts from a distant future.
