The future of the book
Two-way meeting with Pascal Barbry, CNRS research director and chair "Human Lung Cell Atlas" at 3IA Côte d'Azur, and Yves-Marie Lequin, Dominican priest in Nice, writer and artist.
The conservation of historical texts on synthetic DNA marks a revolution: metal capsules, large as a pill, preserve digital data in genetic form, guaranteeing stability over hundreds of thousands of years.
This technology, inspired by biology, responds to the challenges of digital storage, limited life, explosion of data volumes and ecological impact of data centers, offering an ultra-compact, sustainable and sober solution in energy.
As a symbol of innovation, these capsules protect the cultural heritage of humanity from oblivion and technological obsolescence, while paving the way for a more responsible archiving.
A prototype synthetic DNA capsule on which a heritage text is encoded will be delivered to the library
This capsule will be officially delivered, for the first time in a French territorial library, to ensure its conservation.
An event not to be missed!
As part of the European Heritage and Centennial Days of Michel Butor
