A hypnotic and mesmerising video by artist Isao Hashimoto charting every nuclear explosion between 1945 to 1998. It's an eerie spectacle and even with the numbers displayed on the screen a difficult concept to grasp. Have we really exploded that much nuclear ordnance in our atmosphere? As Mark Wilson from Gizmodo says, "As more and more countries gain nuclear technologies, the map becomes a terrifying game of Simon. By the end, it feels remarkable that we never encountered a game over...as of yet".
