The installation and flowgraph in this assignment so far distinctively reflects on the ‘radiation’ real world sensor from Pachube. The concept for the installation replicates mankind’s rapid advancement in technology and increasing electricity and power consumption. The installation abstractly shows mankind’s stages of advancement, from simple relatively safe steam generated power to more dirty polluted fossil fuel-generated electricity and then on to the more destructive and unpredictable nuclear power. The flow graph enhances the architecture/models through a variety of entities, including particle effects such as explosions and smog in order to emphasize not only the dangers and destructive nature of mankind’s thirst for power, but also how sometimes we do not have a handle on the technology that we created to aid us in the first place. Mankind relies on this power heavily and if removed or destroyed then, we may panic, devolve and become disorganized as a society.
