Exploring the potential of DNA Storage for the preservation of cultural heritage amid the climate crisis.
Tragedies are etched into our memories, some that we choose to forget, and others too catastrophic to ignore.
Climate policy and legislation often fail to engage with the urgency of protecting the values, places, and lived experiences of those affected. Low-lying areas will be submerged underwater, other regions turned into dust, and arguably the gravest tragedy of all will be the gradual loss of the rich and diverse flavours that make humanity so unique – our culture.
CONTINUED examines the sociocultural cost of adapting to climate change and our complicity in cultural erosion. Utilising the capabilities of DNA storage to encrypt a library of sound and film all in one seed means stories that would be forgotten will be remembered.
