Cryopreservation
The operating theatre of the cryopreservation company "ALCOR Life Extension Foundation" in Scottsdale, Phoenix Arizona. In this room patients body are freezed. The cooling down process take place on the left sarcophagus for those who require full-body cryopreservation, and on the right box for those who just require head-preservation. Cryopreserved patients are freezed and stored, waiting for their next life.
humanoid bebè
Humanoid Telenoid robot, at the Miraikan National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, Tokyo, Japan. Telenoid is a robot that recreates the emotional experience of a child. Its design is the result of decades of research on empathy between man and robot. Telenoid is available at the Miraikan for a dialogue and to be embraced for a maximum time of three minutes each session.
NASA on Mars
NASA Hi-Seas IV one year simulation of life on Mars. Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii. The astronaut Captain Carmel Johnston walks on the top of the volcano during an EVA (Extra Veichular Activity). Six young astronauts have spent 365 days in complete isolation between the arid lava of this volcano, which perfectly recreates the ground that they will find on Mars. It has been the longest mission never developed by NASA.
Apocalypse Ark
Global Seed Vault in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Also named "the apocalypse ark" this anti-nuclear and missilistic bunker store all the world's seeds, against any loss or damage to the global biodoversity due to conflicts or climate catastrophes.
Human Bodies Storage Room
Cryonic Institute of Michigan, Detroit, USA. Within those white cylinders (sarcophagus) patient's bodies are cryopreserved in a nitrogen bath, at a stable temperature constantly monitored. On the back the operating room where the cooling down process take place. This is the oldest center in the world, where Robert Ettinger, father of cryonic, did his first studies on cryopreservation.
Jumping on Mars
NASA Hi-Seas IV one year simulation of life on Mars. Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii. The Franch astronaut Ciprien Verseux jumps on the top of the volcano during an EVA (Extra Veichular Activity).
Humanoid robot hotel
Humanoids robots at the reception of the Henn-na Hotel, the world first humanoid hotel. Fukuoka, Japan. The entire hotel is managed by robots. At the reception guests will find a pretty woman and two robot dinosaurs to welcome them. In the picture the back stage of the hotel front desk.
Biomes
Eden Project biospheres, Cornwall, UK. These are the biggest biosphere in the world. Built on an old mine to demonstrate the impossible, today a huge tropical forest grows under those domes. Experts believe that the biosphere represent an effective way to conserve the Earth's biodiversity.
Waiting room
Waiting room of the Cryonic Institute of Michigan, Detroit, USA. It is the oldest center in the world for human cryopreservation. All patients pictures are framed on the wall of the Institute.
SURVIVING HUMANITY
Climate change, demography, migrations, war. Following the experts opinion, in the
coming decades we are going to face huge challenges. And for the first time in history, we
are dealing with our survival. This work explores what science is doing around the world to
face the future, meets those unknown men and women handling with our destiny, and
narrates places where human being is organizing his resilience.
Pictures are taken in: North Pole scientific base and Global Seed Vault (Svalbard),
Cryopreservation centers (USA), institutes and universities working with humanoid
robotics, NASA astronauts simulating life on Mars (Hi-Seas IV NASA Mission, Hawaii),
edible insect farming in Netherland, biosphere to preserve the forests biodiversity in UK.
The work (entirely realized in 2016) will be completed in 2017 with the last 2 chapters.
