For a variety of unpredictable reasons, global catastrophes and extinctions of life have become unpredictable. In order to keep the earth green forever from these global catastrophes and the extinction of life, a seed bolt is essential. Seed Vault is a facility that permanently stores seeds at minus 20 degrees Celsius and preserves them for future time for the recovery of the earth in such a crisis situation. The seed vault is a facility to store seeds, but the ultimate purpose is to take out the stored seeds in case of a crisis and restore nature. Therefore, this project reinterprets the seed vault, studies the genetic data of the seed based on the seed vault, and builds a data-based artificial ecosystem.
