The Gaia Theory Project
The Gaia Theory Project is a group project presented by the Tanalois Group and the torno Kohime Foundation under the direction of Aloisio Congrejo, Tani Thor and Nino Vichan. It is based on the Gaia Theory of Lovelock and Margulis.
The GAIA Theory Project brings together 11 artists from 7 countries spanning Asia, Europe and North America.
This project is sponsored by a 5 month grant from the Linden Endowment for the Arts.
The sim will be available for public visitations through the month of December 2013.

The Gaia hypothesis, also known as Gaia theory or Gaia principle, proposes that organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a self-regulating, complex system that contributes to maintaining the conditions for life on the planet. Topics of interest include how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms affect the stability of global temperature, ocean salinity, oxygen in the atmosphere and other environmental variables that affect the habitability of Earth.
The hypothesis was formulated by the scientist James Lovelock and co-developed by the microbiologist Lynn Margulis in the 1970s
