Week 2 Independant Study

Pure War!
"A MUTATED FORM OF WAR THAT EXISTS IN A PURE STATE OF PERMANENT PREPARATION FOR AND ANTICIPATION OF ACTUAL WARFARE." - Paul Virilio

My interpretation of Paul Virilio's definition of Pure War traces back to fearing the unknown. Whether it be an agenda or entity, friend or foe, not being able to anticipate or predict what is to come places us on edge, anxious and instinctively prepare for the worst.


My object, at the moment, takes the shape of partially rubble from a seemingly alien world with an oddly (likely crafted) flat surface as a literal metaphor the unknown.
