U-CUTE Artists: Sanxingdui Is the Naturalism of the Future.

"We are a multi-disciplinary and crossover creationteam." Founded in 2020, U-CUTE is committed to exploring the possibility of integrating art and technology in a multi-dimensional space. Mainly composed of youngsters born after 1995, the team brings together young designers and engineers from various industries such as architecture design, interior design, original illustrations, and dynamic vision.

For this re-creation project, the team of artists from U-CUTE chose the bronze mask as their object to recreate because they thought the bronze mask was among the most representative cultural relics unearthed in the Sanxingdui site and best represented the unique aesthetics and artistic conceptions of the people of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

In the U-CUTE team, Long Yuxin is mainly responsible for illustration and IP character setting. "Advanced, sacred, and unpredictable" is Long Yuxin's description of Sanxingdui. In his eyes, Sanxingdui is the naturalism of the future.

"We hope to arouse foreigners' huge interest in Sanxingdui culture, and so Sichuan culture, through utilizing the bronze mask to help teach people some Sichuan dialect." The artists of the U-CUTE team utilized digital images and intelligent language technology to endow the bronze mask with dynamic expressions and linguistic ability, thereby creating a bronze mask that could say "great" and "comfortable" in Sichuan dialect, and holding a dialogue with ancient cultural relics across time and space with a modern language.
