Pure War

The idea of this Video is to show how the continued development of Atomic Weapons is causing the state of "Pure War" within society around the world. The sensors represent areas of a Nuclear Power Plant and Reactor that are being monitored by external forces in an anticipation of Nuclear Warfare. The sensors detect people near them making people glow so the people using them can monitor movement within the Nuclear Zone.

SketchUp Model Views of Nuclear Power Plant

This post demonstrates my idea of "Pure War!" piecing together in SketchUp, my idea of this topic was influenced by both my Pachube feed, along with a few other feeds that were related to motion, and motion detecting (unfortunately these feeds were mostly all Frozen). I pursued this idea as I believe it was a perfect example of "Pure War!" in our current world as well as in the near future.

This sensor is heavily involved in my final Crysis Environment and relates to both the topic "Pure War!" and my previous Pachube live feed. The idea of "Sensors in the Garden" influenced the idea in my mind of monitoring activity in an outdoor environment, whether it be monitoring temperature or the movement of beings. To relate this to "Pure War!" I have chosen to base my Environment on a Nuclear Base that whereby America are anticipated Nuclear warfare.

Pachube Live Feeds

1.   Sensors in the Garden- http://pachube.com/feeds/23986
2.   Geiger Counter Feeds from Fukushima, Japan- https://pachube.com/feeds/25972 
3.   Onset- https://pachube.com/feeds/12714


These three sensors, all individually influenced the work I am looking to produce for my first assessment in BENV2423. The Sensors in the Garden represent the idea that sensors can be placed around an environment to register and account for different levels of certain actions. The Onset feed furthers this as it detects motion in certain areas within a house, so I have combined both these two feeds to create motion detector sensors in an outdoor environment. Lastly, as Nuclear Weapons are becoming a technology that most countries in the world are able to find and use, I thought about the idea of Nuclear Warfare, there were no feeds for uranium mining or nuclear reactors so I chose one on Radiation to represent the idea of Nuclear Warfare.
