A map of the world using recycled computer parts created by UK-based artist Susan Stockwell
The Banana Theory installation is two-part and revolves around the use of QR codes. The installation in the parade ground of Chelsea College utilises the existing grass square, which we will dig into to create a twelve meter squared QR code made entirely of grass and soil. The intention of this piece is to draw attention to our overall project and get people interested. The second part of the project involves the placement of smaller QR code stickers around the campus. When scanned with a smartphone, each code will take the user to information on the carbon footprint of that particular object on our website. May 16-27, 2012.

Godafoss, Iceland
A glacial torrent pours over a 40-foot-high ledge at Gođafoss, “waterfall of the gods.” After the Icelandic assembly adopted Christianity in 1000, its leader threw his pagan idols into the falls. The mossy island, notes geographer Guđrún Gísladóttir, “is protected from sheep.”

A secure seedbank located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen near the town of Longyearbyen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago, about 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) from the North Pole. The facility preserves a wide variety of plant seeds in an underground cavern. The seeds are duplicate samples, or “spare” copies, of seeds held in gene banks worldwide. The seed vault is an attempt to provide insurance against the loss of seeds in genebanks, as well as a refuge for seeds in the case of large-scale regional or global crises. The seed vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement between the Norwegian government, the Global Crop Diversity Trust (GCDT) and the Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen).
