Lisi Raskin will present Warning Warum, a web-based artwork that gives visitors the option to "launch" a nuclear weapon. The hand-crafted interface, made by Raskin based on the control panels she saw at the Titan Missile museum in Green Valley, Arizona, is punctuated by the artist's animations. Long fascinated by cold-war culture, Raskin's work deploys a child-like sensibility and absurd soundtrack to invite the viewer to imagine devastation, both as potential victim and perpetrator.
