Taryn Simon collaborated with Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation (ROSATOM) to prepare a work of art made from nuclear material. In the year 3015, approximately one thousand years after its creation, a black square made from vitrified nuclear waste will be permanently displayed at Garage in a custom designed void that has been integrated into the new museum building.

      Both are groups of organisms subject to the laws of evolution and ecology and trying to survive and propagate their species, yes. The comparison, while technically correct, is unhelpful and usually made in bad faith. In the grand scheme of things, life works similarly at all scales.

      You could also say diseases work a lot like humans. We both do our best to spread and survive and adapt to our environments. That’s how nature works. That’s how a basic survival mechanism works.

      From trees creating seeds that fly well on the wind and dropping them from great heights, to humans exploring and colonizing, to diseases spreading and growing in an attempt to survive as best as they can, we’re all the same in that basic way.

          lol that’s funny, one of our biggest dividers - skin color - is literally just us adapting to our environment to create the appropriate levels of vitamins based on how much sun we’re getting. Wild that you genuinely believe that we don’t adapt. How do you think we got to this point?

            Perhaps I could have better worded it as that we are adapting our environment to us at a vastly greater rate than we had adapted to our environment prehistorically.

              But we’re still adapting to it, just as disease and trees do. What you’re saying now isn’t a counter to my statement, what you said before was…
