I’ve got a new article on the symbolic life of the Guy Fawkes mask over at HiLoBrow. This essay is an expansion of the OWS imagery article from a few weeks ago, and I’m really happy with the way it turned out. Check it out, and comment over there!
Got a chance to talk about my research into Distributed Denial of Service attacks in activism at the Media Lab’s annual Member Week. We even had an instance of LOIC running on a closed network so people could see how the tool worked.
Highlights included making a Space Invader out of gaff tape on the floor of the Media Lab. I love this fucking place.
