The installation is inspired by the live feed from Pachube, which is the radiation data variation from Japan. The installation includes a model and a few flowgraphs in the Quarry level, separated into three sections. The first section stands for the radiation issue in Japan continues causing many serious problems. A series of glows are installed through the stairs reflecting the variations of the radiation from the real-time feed. The second section consists of a series of bargraphs, represents the continuously changing of the radiation. Regarding to Paul Virilio’s concept of “Pure War”, those conflicts implicates the war won’t stop, “no matter whether or not there is a war” (Week 2 independent study), there is a conflict between the radiation and the environment, therefore people have to fix the radiation, which is the pure war in this installation.
The main concept of “Pure War” is the war will never stopped, as the installation shows, the conflicts are in different environment, but it has to be stopped, even though it is not a real war.
