Hashimoto: "This piece of work is a bird's eye view of the history by
scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used
for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The
blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where
and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this
work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of
the extremely grave, but present problem of the world."
