WORK > 2016 > De-Extinction Deli (To Go)

De-Extinction Deli (To Go) builds on the original De-Extinction Deli market stand by offering visitors the opportunity to write and mail pre-addressed postcards  to leading researchers and thinkers in the field of  de-extinction.

The De-Extinction Deli is a fantastical market stand designed to highlight the emerging technologies, risks, and outcomes of the growing movement to revive, rear and possibly eat, extinct species.  Visitors can learn about the de-extinction debate from the Deli’s representatives and through the Deli’s interactive environment. The market stand includes butcher paper infographic take-aways, representations of extinct animal habitats, and an ongoing  poll, tallying public opinions about the art and science of  de- extinction. Visitors receive badges indicating their choices and have the option to write and mail pre-addressed postcards  to leading researchers and thinkers in the field of  de-extinction.

NOTE: This version of the project is an homage to Stewart Brand’s earliest projects NASA Images of Earth. “In 1966, Brand campaigned to have NASA release the then-rumored satellite image of the entire Earth as seen from space. He sold and distributed buttons for 25 cents each[6] asking, “Why haven’t we seen a photograph of the whole Earth yet?”. (wikipediaMr. Brand is one of the postcard recipients.

The Whole Earth photo campaign fascinating because it was both hopeful about the power of metaphors to change people’s minds and paranoid about the activities and intentions of those in power. He was really asking of all of humanity “What are we capable of?”

Stewart Brand is probably one of the most important artist of the last half century (even if I don’t always agree with his perspectives and positions). Paralleling the hopeful/paranoid question that Stewart Brand asked about NASA’s intentions, we are now asking a hopeful/paranoid question about the intentions The Long Now Foundation, Wyss Institute and others in the “De-Extinction movement”. Will we de-extinct animals? Why? Who or what are they for? Will they live in zoos or in rewilded habitats? If we ate many of them to death the first time around, what makes us think we won’t eat some of them the second time around? Can we be hopeful that we WON’T eat de-extinct animals the second time around?

Same question, different flavor: “What are we capable of?”
