Her NonBinary music video last April, where newly-born futuristic Venus, she was cradled in her giant scallop shell by robotic arms (more info in this Boudoir Numérique article), foreshadowed promising fashion tech inventions for Arca’s new album KiCk i, to be released on June 26. And the Venezuelan singer does not disappoint for her second new title Time, unveiled two days ago.
Arca wears light-up accessories in this music video, filmed in the streets of New York and on the occasion of four performances at the cultural center The Shed, united under the title Mutant; Faith, last September. Watch the Time video below.
The accessories are signed by Carlos Sáez, multimedia artist, specialized in the links between man and technology. Below, Light Wings.
Below, Máscara Láser.
Below, Chihuahua Claw.
The Chihuahua Claw is part of a robotic silhouette, the Chihuahua exoskeleton, worn by Arca on the cover of her new album.

This exoskeleton is also composed of mechanical legs, already worn by the singer in her clip Reverie, in 2017.
