Summary
The book is a critical analysis of one art project, namely the 'Autonomy Cube' by Trevor Paglen and Jacob Appelbaum. The 'Autonomy Cube' is a sculpture designed to be housed in art museums, galleries, and civic spaces. Several Internet-connected computers housed within the work create an open Wi-Fi hotspot called 'Autonomy Cube' wherever it is installed. Anyone can join this network and use it to browse the Internet. But 'Autonomy Cube' does not provide a normal Internet connection. The sculpture routes all of the Wi-Fi traffic over the Tor network, a global network of thousands of volunteer-run servers, relays, and services designed to help anonymize data.00Exhibition: Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art, Oldenburg, Germany (23.10. - 03.01.2015).
