The Earth Black Box is a giant steel structure located on the remote island of Tasmania. It will witness and document the end of the earth under the impact of climate change.
The Earth Black Box is equipped with multiple hard drives, each of which records and preserves real-time scientific analysis and updates on the most pressing issues facing the world including climate change, extinction, environmental pollution and health impacts. These data will be recorded in a monolithic structure. The Earth’s black box is powered by solar energy.
If someday, future societies discover this archived data they can string together and see what our planet has been through.
The team in charge of the project say climate change and many other man-made hazards will cause our civilization to collapse unless we change the way we live. The Earth Black Box will record getting closer to this disaster. The black box will continuously collect and securely store hundreds of data sets, measurements and interactions related to the health of the planet for future generations.
This earth black box is an indestructible recording device. If the Earth collapses due to climate change, it will be in perpetuity for whoever survives.
The black box earth project is the result of a collaboration between Clemenger BBDO, The Glue Society and researchers at the University of Tasmania with the aim of providing an accurate record of the events that led to the destruction of the Earth. The land thereby prompts urgent action to tackle climate change.
As expected, the black box will be completed in early 2022. Currently, part of the systems in the box are already operational and are testing updating environmental data.
The Earth Black Box has a design similar to the Apocalypse Vault built to protect a backup collection of all the seeds in the world to prevent the apocalypse in Norway.
