Doomsday Clock Companion

Springing from the purchase of an old clock from a car boot sale, and then an idea to integrate a paper cut-out collage into the clock and remove the hour and minute hands, the making of a short video was the final step. The soundtrack for this one minute film was created with radio and found sounds, ticking clocks, and Hellitron tone generators. The Doomsday Clock was established by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in 1947. It is a graphic image which seeks to warn the public about how close the world is to destroying civilisation as we know it through the impact of technology and irrational decision making. In the present moment in the middle of 2025 it is worth pondering the establishment political and media climate. If there was a country in the Middle East that operated an apartheid system against more than two million citizens; that openly flouts UN resolutions without penalty; that has launched a relentless, savage bombing campaign on civilians and which has included the targeting and destruction of hospitals, schools, cemeteries, and ancient and religious sites; that has unleashed bombs and missiles on a strip of land with an explosive power equivalent to six Hiroshimas; and which has an estimated stockpile of at least 90 nuclear warheads, and yet stands outside of the UN Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Surely a belligerent, nuclear armed country such as this would be incredibly dangerous for security in the Middle East and beyond, and require immediate action from the international community to order restraint and initiate weapons inspections and disarmament. After acting on that priority, attention could then fully turn to stopping any other countries in the region from acquiring a nuclear weapon capability.
