He values that sculpture ensues action, extreme radicalizing, borderline sado machoism
Wanted us to witness the fear and feel the pain with each of his pieces
It would’ve been alright for him to have died during one of his performances
Which sculptural piece was the most significant to you? Why is this?
His piece titled ALL THE SUBMARINES OF THE UNITED STATES was my favorite piece that he did.
It was one of his later works, when he finally stopped and no longer did human performances. How each sub was tied to the ceiling at different heights
It reminded me of several scenes in science fiction stories of massive naval/space fleets approaching the impending doom they are about to fly right into.
Overall, I prefer Burden’s later work he seemed to have much better pieces than what actually made him well-known

Why can’t color blind people be pilots?
Instrumentation, and warnings, in a modern flight deck are color-coded to give different meanings e.g.
Green=All is well Amber=Urgent but not critical, Red=Urgent and critical
Not forgetting also, that the navigation lights on aircraft are green and red so one can tell if they’re coming or going.
In situations such as a radio failure, pilots also rely on color coded strobes from the ground for communication. Though this is unlikely to happen, it is still mandated in licensing requirements for most countries.
