<br>
The
exhibition </font><font size="3"><i>SAMIZDATA: Evidence of
Conspiracy </i></font><font size="3">by Jacob Appelbaum, a
post-national independent computer security researcher,
journalist
and photographer, is focused on a series of portraits which
represent
the character of a whistleblower: a person, typically working
for
some state apparatus, that for some reason chooses to drop out
of the
organization he or she is working for and circulate
information that,
according to the rules of that apparatus, should be kept
secret. Bill
Binney, Laura Poitras, Glenn Greenwald (with David Miranda),
Julian
Assange, Sarah Harrison and Ai Weiwei do not match the
traditional
perception of whistleblowers as spies because of their ethical
motivations, their belief that keeping such information secret
is
something that can damage the life of a modern democracy, and
their
faith in the role of another important player in the life of a
modern
democracy: the press.<br>
<br>
Six colored infrared photos are shown as
Cibachrome prints, using analogue surveillance film to
portrait
people who are uncovering surveillance itself. The exhibition,
curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli and realized in collaboration
with the
NOME Gallery in Berlin, will also feature the sculpture Panda
to
Panda (2015) realized by Appelbaum in collaboration with
Chinese
visual artist and dissident Ai Weiwei.<br>
