he's a trained ceramic specialist and well versed in these materials. he even developed a special process for burning high resolution images and text on to the tiles in his workshop at home. it can take hours or even days. the supervisor goes with his wet blaze of the child bombs with the color grains. then it causes food all after that, it's a smooth surface. that's why it's so durable. it is the full heart bar. whenever a batch of tiles is finished, martin conser heads for the salt mine and housed at the picturesque location of trucks many tourists and has been used at the fillum location. visitors from around the world come to house that but few know that deep in the mountain above them. a time capsule or archive has been growing for a decade, tiled by tile. this time is particularly important to martin conser.
12:45 am
it shows how a glazier has melted in just a few decades. listen and produce element. that's a central element of the archive document and climate change. because if we don't safely preserve the raw climate observation, docile future generations might not understand. the climate change took place and certainly not to what extent are one from honesty also, masser. the project won't be limited to just tiles. scientists are working with martin conser on new data storage materials to fit more data on smaller spaces. because there's plenty of demand. even the university of vienna has tiles here, the project memory of mankind is to last forever. for every one you won't expect europe's largest shanty town to lie just outside of madrid, but that is where you'll find kenya that he out of 14 kilometer long, illegal settlement about 20000 people lovin gun. now that he al,
