<p>The ERC Synergy project The Cultures of the Cryosphere.
Infrastructures, Politics and Futures of Artificial Cooling
(CultCryo) investigates the cultural preconditions and
consequences of the use of artificial cold. With aglobally
networked system of cold storage facilities, nitrogen tanks, cold
chains, and air-conditioned spaces, the global use of cooling and
freezing technologies enables modern life on both biological and
social levels – for example, in the areas of food supply,
medicine, air conditioning, and data processing. Despite its
far-reaching socio-ecological impacts, the enormously
energy-intensive planetary "cryosphere" has not yet been
systematically researched. The interdisciplinary research project
consists of several international research groups working in close
cooperation. For more information, please visit: <a
