Guerilla Art Honoring Edward Snowden

submitted by eric3579

9 years 1 month ago

While most people slept, a trio of artists and some helpers installed a bust of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in Brooklyn on Monday morning. The group, which allowed ANIMAL to exclusively document the installation on the condition that we hide their identities, hauled the 100-pound sculpture into Fort Greene Park and up its hilly terrain just before dawn. They fused it to part of the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument, a memorial to Revolutionary War soldiers. As of press time, the sculpture was still there. -yt

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by kulpims.

Pretty sure this all counts as *controversy

Adding video to channels (Controversy) - requested by newtboy.

I'll be so extremely curious how long this remains in tact... Suppose its pretty naive to hope that its allowed to stand.

Seems it's been removed already. http://sputniknews.com/us/20150406/1020536515.html

Sound like they need to go to the police ans get their property back. Then reinstall it in a location that is gifted to them for this reason.

Or use a GOFUNDME and let us donate to the cause.

Well i can't say I'm overly surprised, if a little disappointed.

@bobknight33 Had they done that originally no one would have ever heard about it. It did make it to the front page of virtually every major news site.

The apathetic way we as a country have just sort of forgotten about the various government surveillance programs, I'll take literally anything to remind people and get some kind of conversation going. I don't think we're going to get to many chances to walk back some of them back before they're thought of as just part of daily life.

@Januari Now replaced with a hologram

Thanks @radx for bringing this to my attention.
