Nothing illustrates the differences in national science installations as clearly as the reaction when the same badges were introduced at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where the primary mission is classified nuclear weapons research.
The project is a 12-meter long panoramic installation of a science-fiction inspired landscape on Mars.
Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen makes iconoclastic sculpture, paintings, glasswork and installations questioning contemporary science, philosophy and ethics.
