Seed Vault

The Last Way to Prepare for Global Warming

In 2019, Jeju Island in South Korea reached 23 degrees Celsius in the middle of winter, huge areas of forests were burned and destroyed due to Amazon and Australian wildfires, fine dust problems, heat island effect, global warming accelerated...

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.
