Welcome to the Post-Apocalyse Seed Vault

Critic: Michael Szivos

This project uses collages and models to depict a post-apocalyptical world where the 1% have moved into a high=rise. Artificial intelligence runs the building and feeds its exclusive residents with images of an ideal life. The residents dine in a conveyor belt restaurant, but they never see the servants hidden in the back of the house who harvest and prepare their food.The door to the top floor works like a railroad switch and sorts people into two categories. The exclusive residents of the buildings are directed into a large hall with conveyor belts that serves drinks. The conveyor belt restaurant that serves organic greens is at the end of the hall. Images of the beautiful nature fills the space. The servants can only go into the back of the house where plants grow. Servants also have access to the lab and kitchen spaces where they can prepare meals for the restaurant.
