Welcome to the
What do you need to know?
The Nuclear Information Centre (NIC) is a deliberately quasi-official sounding organisation and nomadic visitor centre established in 2022 by self-appointed and permanent artist in residence, Nic Pehkonen. Intentionally broad in scope, the primary purpose of the NIC is to creatively and critically engage with the UK’s cumlative atomic activities and future legacies and share this through a range of evolving, adaptable and hopefully thought-provoking exhibits that ultimately take their transient place within the wider, intertwined global tripartite of nuclear power, weapons and waste.
The Nuclear Information Centre is also a space where official and unofficial informational boundaries are frequently blurred, fact and fiction become actively entangled and questions of ambiguity, selectivity and trust are tacitly raised.
To what extent do you trust the Nuclear Information Centre?
What else do you need to know?
Although the NIC is primarily a vehicle through which to share personal research and creative output it is also very much open to potential collaborative projects. Please contact Nic in the first instance through Nuclear Information Centre enquiries.
You may also observe NIC activities on Instagram and Vimeo.
