Abstract:
Ignorance of the nuclear explosions history grows in the general public as the memory of Hiroshima fades. Our Things is an artistic response, based on scientific research and documentation, to the current context of modernisation and perpetuation of nuclear arsenals, as well as the possible resumption of testing. Through artistic installations and performances, the goal of this research-creation project is to reveal to a wide audience, in an accessible and sensitive way, the environmental and health damages generated by the military nuclearisation of the world. This project was initially formalised during a residency at the research unit CERI (Sciences Po Paris), and a first VR version this artistic project is presented through the Styly platform during ISEA 2024. In this immersive environment, the participant can listen, through spatialised data sonification, to the chronology and different characteristics of nuclear explosions, as well as their lasting effects.
