Seedese

Seedese is a fictional concept that appears in the popular video game "BioShock Infinite." Within the game's narrative, Seedese refers to a specific type of bioluminescent algae that plays a crucial role in the technological advancements and aesthetic of the floating city of Columbia. This algae is cultivated and utilized by the city's inhabitants for various purposes, most notably as a primary source of light. The soft, ethereal glow emitted by Seedese illuminates the streets, buildings, and public spaces of Columbia, contributing to its distinctive, otherworldly atmosphere.

Beyond its function as a light source, Seedese is also depicted as being integrated into Columbia's infrastructure in more subtle ways. It is suggested that the algae has properties that help maintain the city's buoyancy and structural integrity, though the exact scientific mechanisms are not fully explained. The cultivation of Seedese is a significant undertaking for the people of Columbia, requiring specialized knowledge and resources. It represents a key element of their self-sufficiency and their ability to thrive in their isolated aerial environment. The presence of Seedese is therefore not just decorative but foundational to the existence and character of Columbia.
