Techno-primitive soft moonshine still is an alembic sculpture designed as a hybrid between industrial fermentation apparatus and soft drink mythology. The still is composed of four spherical chambers stacked vertically, each one swelling into the next like oversized bubbles suspended in tension. The form sits between industrial fermentation apparatus and soft drink mythology.

The device is conceived for the distillation of fermented Coca-Cola, reimagining the world’s most ubiquitous soft drink as a raw material. Through fermentation, the soda’s excessive sweetness is allowed to destabilize and become alcoholic; through distillation, its volatile essence is extracted and concentrated into a clear spirit. What remains is not the drink itself, but its distilled memory: a purified extract of desire, sugar, caffeine, and global circulation.

Coca-Cola is approached here as a cultural substance rather than a beverage; an engineered liquid that already operates as a global surface of recognition, addiction, and repetition. Through fermentation and distillation, this surface is slowed down and displaced, allowing it to shift into an unstable material state.

The work stages a collision between industrial refreshment culture and primitive alchemical techniques. It asks what happens when the most engineered, branded, and standardized liquid becomes subject to slow transformation. In this process, Coca-Cola shifts from a mass-produced stimulant into a techno-mythic substance—an addictive black liquid reinterpreted as ancestral moonshine, glowing with the residue of summer thirst and global craving.
