Our pitch - outcomes & deliverables

What we're proposing is creating a better generation of ancestors by exploring nuclear cultures through a combination of art and science. We collaborate globally by working with local and indigenous community volunteers, combining our field-based methods towards a set of content aimed at communicating radiation science to a general audience. While we produce scientific data and artwork/artifacts with each local group, the real product of our collaboration is the network of grassroots scientific and artistic leaders addressing their local parts of the nuclear cycle.

Our low-carbon, local-volunteer methods are producing peer-reviewed science and impactful artwork, unhindered by pandemic and serving the under-served; because we are local, low-cost, open, distributed, connected, and grass-roots.

Extracting Exotic data from mundane objects
Social media, crowd sourced science, advanced X-ray microscopy and nanoscale techniques allow citizen-scientists to tap into the vast stream of nanoparticles that is continuously discharged by industrial processing of unique nuclear/radioactive materials.

Data Harvesting: Deploying Safecast devices
Deploying these citizen-science devices to interested people to create our own network of data-gathering citizen scientists and spokespeople/artists

Ground Truthing: Mapping the spatial network of impact
Accurately mapping the locations of detected radiation, both extremely local and widely global

Specimens: The zoo of radiological objects
An exhibition where these are placed in an aquarium for safe public interaction. The Zoo teaches visitors to read and understand the previously invisible nuclear fingerprints left by atomic power and weapons.

Open Call: Globally sharing the Methodology & Open Public Data with other sites of concern, while protecting the anonymity of sample donors where needed.

First Places of Inquiry: Plymouth Mass., America's Hometown; Fukushima, Japan; Santa Susana, CA; Hanford, WA
