Things That Get in Our Way is an experimental device, which resembles some sort of scientific instrument. It produces a constantly altering light as well as clicking sound, which we might recognise from radiation measuring instruments. Through readings, by a geiger counter and a micro processor, the light and the sound relates to surrounding radiation. The geiger counter reads alpha-, beta- and gamma radiation.

This video was shot in Oviken, Jämtland, Sweden in 2015. Oviken is a site prospected for Uranium and Vanadium mining. The video was edited 2024-2025.
