What is the name of the epoch we will die in?

The Golden Spike is a geological marker that indicates the boundary of a new epoch, the holy grail of the science known as chronostratigraphy. Artist Loren Kronemyer visited the Golden Spike of the Permian-Triassic Boundary, the epoch of the extinction event known as the great dying. Located on the face of the oldest coal mine in China, the geological marker now has a theme park erected around it that celebrates the minting of this deep-time monument.

The quote is an extract from an interview with Loren Kronemyer and Colin Waters, Secretary of the Anthropocene Working Group. The Anthropocene Working Group are the group of scientists campaigning to adopt the “Anthropocene” into Earth’s fossil record. This complete interview is available as unlockable content to this NFT.

Epoch Wars at Golden Spike Park, Zhejiang Province, was supported by the Australia China Exchange and Performing Lines.

What is the name of the epoch you will die in?

This edition of Cryptocene collectibles is inspired by the battle over what to name the newest layer of Earth's geological strata. A coalition of scientists are currently making the case to adopt the name "Anthropocene", meaning "human recent era", into our geological timeline. How will the name of the future affect the way we live and die in it?

Beginning with the "Anthropocene", artist Loren Kronemyer imagines death in a variety of alternative future epochs. Combining film and text, she depicts dream-like scenarios based on her experiences, interviews, and observations researching our moment of epochal transition.

Filmed in remote locations in Southern Tasmania, China, and Finland, Armoury of the Epoch Wars builds on the antidisciplinary artwork Epoch Wars by Pony Express, creators of Ecosexual Bathhouse.
