👉 Taryn Simon wiki

Taryn Simon collaborated with Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation (ROSATOM) to prepare a work of art made from nuclear material. In the year 3015, approximately one thousand years after its creation, a black square made from vitrified nuclear waste will be permanently displayed at Garage in a custom designed void that has been integrated into the new museum building.

    I mean i doubt that will be there in a 1000 years but cool. For those of you saying humans will be long gone. Why do you think that? Quite a simple minded way of thinking if you ask me. Humanity needs to spread out from earth and explore for new planets so we can thrive across the universe. Being stuck on this planet for eternity might actually make us go extinct though. (not caused by humans but other space things like asteroids for example) the end goal for humanity is to last till the end of time itself. If it means billions if not trillions of life’s have to die to get to that point then so be it. If it means having to wipe out an entire alien species to save ourselves then so be it. If it means we have to hibernate for millions of years on ships then so be it.

    I personally hope humanity lasts until that last atom in the universe has been destroyed.

        Both are groups of organisms subject to the laws of evolution and ecology and trying to survive and propagate their species, yes. The comparison, while technically correct, is unhelpful and usually made in bad faith. In the grand scheme of things, life works similarly at all scales.

        You could also say diseases work a lot like humans. We both do our best to spread and survive and adapt to our environments. That’s how nature works. That’s how a basic survival mechanism works.

        From trees creating seeds that fly well on the wind and dropping them from great heights, to humans exploring and colonizing, to diseases spreading and growing in an attempt to survive as best as they can, we’re all the same in that basic way.

            lol that’s funny, one of our biggest dividers - skin color - is literally just us adapting to our environment to create the appropriate levels of vitamins based on how much sun we’re getting. Wild that you genuinely believe that we don’t adapt. How do you think we got to this point?
