The power of visualization
Nuclear Detonation Timeline "1945-1998" is a Multimedia artwork by Isao Hashimoto
It is a visualization of the 2053 nuclear tests and explosions that took place between 1945 and 1998 in various parts of the globe. Beautiful, and scary at the same time.
About "1945-1998" ©2003 by autor:
"This piece of work is a bird's eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world." via ctbto.org
