The Verge assembled a digital time capsule to immortalize 2020. The files were encoded into synthetic DNA to be preserved for thousands of years.
The following files were selected by Verge staff in November 2020. The stories contained are by no means exhaustive; they are a few snapshots of life in 2020.
Within this file folder are the original assets included in the time capsule, as well as a video exploring the capsule’s storage medium: synthetic DNA.
The Verge is an ambitious multimedia effort founded in 2011
