Workshops

The curation of the disc contents is a collective process. For each disc, a team of experts from across the globe is formed, with members assigned to thematic subgroups. Over the course of intensive workshops, specialists from different disciplines collaborate to determine which segments of human knowledge and cultural heritage should be preserved.

Sanctuary is not merely about preserving knowledge — it is a carefully designed artistic statement intentionally crafted for comprehension across millennia. To ensure clarity, experts work alongside graphic facilitators in workshops to create visually compelling and pedagogical representations of complex ideas.

Condensing the entirety of human knowledge into a multiscale disc is a daunting task that requires continuous adjustments and fine-tuning. Following each workshop, experts and artists collaborate closely with Mario Freese, the lead designer and art director of the Sanctuary discs, until a unified and coherent design takes shape.
