The EcoSphere is a sealed-glass ecosystem in balance. Only sunlight comes in. Kevin Kelly writes wonderfully about the marvels and challenges of getting these to work in his book, Out of Control. It’s a good overview of evolution, co-evolution, hives, artificial life and the power of biological processes. Biosphere 2 is a much more ambitious project.

  1. I love this image. I love the contrast of organic sitting on techno. And the backstory is interesting too!

  2. Very cool. I saw one of these in Sharper image.. Or was it Brookstone. Couldn’t quite justify the price though. Nice picture. The screen colors magnified are nice.

    Are they even still WORKING on Biosphere 2? Seems like it might be easy to be all PR no Science when you’ve got tours going like that..

  3. Brookstone sells these.

    is it sitting on a PowerBook?

  4. Yes. Macs are so easy to use, you know. Even brine shrimp can post on flickr.

  5. Merci for the Eco pet;)

  6. wow! great shot!
