- Description
- From an explosive centre in the shape of a grenade, twelve legs stride out in a circle in all directions. At the time of the sculpture's creation, this stood for the danger of the spread of radioactive radiation from nuclear power plants. Today it could stand for the viral spread of data in digital networks.
