I started out thinking of the shape of a barrel of a pistol and created this model from that. The reason why I chose a pistol as my starting point is because in today's society people seem to be removed from the real war of the world and are more focused on the war that is based on a society level. When were hear of shootings or murders we associate this with a pistol rather than a rifle or tank... the real weapons of war. This idea is derived from Paul Virilio's focus on technology and the thought of speed ie. technology = today/ current/ future and speed = the death of a human being from one pull of the trigger.
This is the texture that I created for my model. The images I chose related to Paul Viriolio's work (including soome of his sketches) and the idea of speed vs technology vs military and their weapons.
