" On your blog write approximately 150 words describing how your installation (in form and in flowgraph) distinctively and significantly reflect the output/s of the real world sensor from Pachube that you have selected. This description should build on the 50 words you wrote in week 2 (independent study) with respect to Paul Virilio's concept of "Pure War!"."
The real world sensor from Pachube measured the pH and temperature of soil. This would serve no interest to a majority of the public whatsoever. My installation was created on the basis that the world rejected and showed no interest in the theories of my client, a scientist. He still continues to fervently work on his experiments although he lacks motivation due to the intense public opinions behind closed doors and thick masonry and opaque walls.
Allowing no eyes to intrude and no sound to leak from the bottom level, this level represents his ‘war’ with the world with the heavy doors and bold lighting.
The spiral staircase also represent the slow progression from war to peace.
In contrast to the upper level, representing ‘peace’, the thinner masonry walls in conjunction with the timber walls allows for ‘interaction’ and collaboration with the rest of the world.

The movement tracking lights represent the progression from ‘war’ to ‘peace’, from the entrance to the second floor to the balcony, and the bridge acts as a sort of escape from the 'war'.

| Flowgraph for the bridge, the walls get higher as you get closer, therefore increasing security. |
