nuclear

Like a sinister version of Aaron Koblin’s Flight Patterns, Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful time-lapse of every nuclear explosion, mapped and counted by country. I must be either ignorant or naive  because I hadn’t realised how many there were during the 1980s. Cue soundtrack of Radioactivity by Kraftwerk:

“…Chernobyl, Harrisburg;

Sellafield, Hiroshima;

Chain reaction and mutation; 

Contaminated population; 

Stop radioactivity; 

Is in the air for you and me.”
