On August 9, 1945 the United States bombed Nagasaki, Japan, the second of two nuclear bombs which together eventually killed over 200,000 civilians. This action, which may have been unnecessary to accomplish its goal since Japan was already preparing to surrender, nevertheless is credited with ending World War II.
The Nike missile system was developed to defend the United States against approaching aircraft, and was designed to operate with a nuclear tip in order to increase probability of a kill. The Nike missile site at the Marin Headlands was one of 12 in the region equipped with these nuclear warheads, and since the maximum range was 100 miles, if they were deployed the resulting nuclear explosion would have destroyed in part and irradiated in total the San Francisco Bay area.
Children born since 1945 have had to grow up with the specter of imminent destruction their entire lives. This has irreparably changed how we deal with the concept of mortality, both individually and on a planetary scale. For nearly 80 years we have lived this way, and this incredible looming trauma has become so embedded in the human psyche to have become nearly normalized. This photographic assemblage is a document of one of those years.
A small Xen lifeform, they live in nests and are extremely hostile to anything that goes near said nest.

Modern art in an entrance tunnel to Kings Cross Station - Halflife is working through the colour spectrum and this morning was working on greens, lighting up and going dark again as it cycled through the colour wheel. Caught the blur of a walker passing as I shot the tunnel from a lower angle.

Halflife, a site-specific installation in Kings Cross St Pancras Underground station by Speirs & Major.
Halflife is built upon a construct of digital, ordered cycles building from light to dark and beginning with bold, dramatic steps gradually becoming calmer until they dissolve ghost like - leaving just a trace of the light that has been - before the sequence resets itself to reveal an altogether new cycle.
The installation forms around British physicist Ernest Rutherford’s principal of decay, ‘Half-life (t1⁄2)’. The concept being that visitors may witness the changing cycles of growth and deterioration through light and colour.
Within the tunnel’s 90m-glazed wall are concealed 180 sources that work together to create a rich palette of animated colour. Through the intricate programming of each individual light source, sequences have been developed, from which the narrative of the piece grows organically. Each of the sources consists of five individual elements: red, green and blue light, complemented by warm and cool white. These then are carefully blended together to create a wide variety of hues, tones and saturations.
Whilst the juxtapositions of light and dark, order and chaos, past and present, peaceful and energetic are possible to observe in one viewing, the gradual evolution of hue and saturation are only recognisable across the piece’s entire duration, creating a new experience on each journey and even each footstep.
