Hiber Nation
Will human hibernation save planet earth?
The emerging concept behind the HIBER NATION project is the introduction of human hibernation. Through this new yearly ritual, humans are given the opportunity to positively contribute to the ecosystem by giving it a holiday away from human impact. The proposed design probes emerging from this world aim to create discussion opportunities on the future role of healthcare and technologies in a world where ecosystem and human health are becoming increasingly inter-dependent. With more and more individuals adapting their daily lifestyle choices to be more considerate of the environment, the HIBER NATION project pushes this current trend to an extreme and asks, “is it a sacrifice to compromise for nature?”
