In 2026, data is the new oil, but its storage demands colossal energy resources. The revolution comes from biology. DNA Data Storage allows a company's entire archive to be packed into a few milliliters of synthetic DNA. At Reception Space, we transform these storages into central lobby art objects. We examine how glowing columns with biological data become a symbol of eternal memory and an unprecedented level of corporate information protection.
The Density of the Future: The Entire Internet in a Petri Dish
DNA is the most efficient information storage system in the universe. In 2026, one gram of DNA can store up to 215 petabytes of data. We design installations for receptions where the entire history of your corporation is stored in elegant glass vessels integrated into furniture or columns. This radically reduces data center support and cooling costs. Information becomes physically tangible and incredibly compact, transforming technology into a piece of fine art.
Bioluminescence and Monitoring: A Living Interface
Visualizing data access
In 2026 lobbies, DNA archives are not hidden in basements. We use modified proteins that cause the DNA solution to glow softly when the system accesses data. When information is read or written, pulses of bioluminescent light run through the column. This creates a unique rhythm for the building's life, where guests can witness the company's 'digital intelligence' at work. The light is completely natural and safe, creating a magical atmosphere in the evenings.
