PER SPECULUM IN ÆNIGMATE: Looking Through a Glass Darkly at the Age of Surveillance
My new Tumblr art project is a response to recent revelations about massive government and corporate surveillance. I'm posting a series of images, each containing an anaglyph 3D picture of an anonymous model, and a QR-encoded, PGP-encrypted email message that I can't read. A group of other people are writing the messages to each other, and my site is the delivery mechanism. With red/cyan 3D glasses, you can see "through" the noise of each image and glimpse some of the depths beyond. But only the intended message recipient can decrypt the embedded text.

The project's Tumblr also features step-by-step tutorials on how to get started with encrypting your own email. Prints of some of the work will be on display starting this Friday in NYC -- more details here.
