Millions of years ago trillions of Chilopod seeds were launched from a distressed planet across the galaxy in hopes of reaching civilizations like ours in time to make a difference. Their home planet was experiencing ecosystem collapse and while the inhabitants couldn’t withstand space travel, Chilopod seeds were engineered to do so. Chilopod has been growing in the Black Rock Desert and she can’t wait to meet you. Through interactive play, Chilopod will imbue some visitors with inspiration to change the world into a more sustainable culture.
