TEDxSydney 2019_ Legacy.mp4

Created for TEDx Sydney’s 10th anniversary, the titles explore the theme of Legacy: wherein the past is preserved and gifted to the future.

We store the knowledge of humankind in libraries. We conserve our art in museums and galleries. We hoard the genes of plants and seeds in the Svalbard vault, and record and reproduce our lives digitally. If a legacy is something valuable to be passed down, we should be well on our way to the ultimate gift.

When orbital construction commenced on the ISS Legacy X in 2019, it was the natural extension to these ideas. A safeguard. An archive. A collection that preserves and juxtaposes humankind’s achievements and the diversity of the natural world, and asks us to confront the complex relationship between the two.

Though valuable beyond measure, humankind’s true hope for the Legacy X remains that we need never use it.

为TEDx Sydney成立10周年而创作这些标题探索了遗产的主题其中过去被保存下来并被赋予未来。

我们把人类的知识储存在图书馆里。我们在博物馆和画廊中保存我们的艺术。我们在斯瓦尔巴宝库中囤积植物和种子的基因并以数字方式记录和复制我们的生活。如果遗产是值得传承的东西我们应该在通往终极礼物的道路上。

当国际空间站Legacy X于2019年开始轨道建设时这是这些想法的自然延伸。保障措施。一个档案。一个保存和并列人类成就和自然世界多样性的收藏品并要求我们面对两者之间的复杂关系。

虽然宝贵无价但人类对Legacy X的真正希望仍然是我们永远不需要使用它。
