Lithograph, hand-colored, approx. 1780 or in a later edition, format with frame 26 x 35 cm. The sheet is taken from the extensive main work of George de Buffon (and a number of partners) on the history of nature. His quote from 1753 (!) "The entire surface of the earth today bears the impression of the power of man" is highly topical in view of the environmental catastrophes and is therefore in the book "The End of Evolution"
-The human being and the destruction of the species- prefixed by Matthias Glaubrecht.

The pattern of a turtle resembles a mathematical Voronoi diagram. We use a Voronoi diagram here, which displays exhibits on a surface partitioned according to the similarity of the pieces. The similarities of the pieces are calculated by an artificial intelligence algorithm.
