NuclearAnxiety is a performance created for the SensibleData section of LPM.

After the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, humanity is explicitly confronting again the nuclear scare and the general issues on energetic policies and on the future of the environment and of our lifestyles.

Current global society brought forward unsustainable models that are explicitly unbearable and only persist thanks to the state of hallucination brought on by the spectacle of mass media: "not in my bak yard" approaches are connected to a state of disbelief, of unreality, of insensibility that numbs our perception of the state of the planet: poor, sick, powered by a fake economy based on death and totally unable to grant any lasting support to the lifestyle promoted by global corporations.

Information wants to be free. Information is there, available and accessible, and it needs to emotionally and aesthetically touch people, reaching inside the cognitive fog in which we're all drawn in.

Nuclear Anxiety is about this:exposing the anxieties, dreams, wishes, desires of people, and the information about the current state of the world. In an emotiona, engaging, dramatic way.

Fukishima disaster is an excuse, to start the dialogue again, raging and furious towards the craziness of the politics that rule our planet, and loving towards the planet and our fellow humans.

NuclearAnxiety will create an emergent narrative in which all connected humans can take part. Live streams of information will be gathered in realtime from social networks and open access data-sets, and rendered into a generative story about fear, desire, hope and vision.

NuclearAnxiety started from an initiative by Artsblog and Art is Open Source. It will be included into the NuclearAnxiety cycle on Artsblog.



All artists participating to the SensibleData section of LPM (and also everyone else at LPM, of course) will be invited to join in for the co-creation of the performance. They will all be credited on Artsblog and an article will be made about their participation, including an interview about their artistic practice.
