i'm glad that more and more people are becoming aware of the dangers of digital surveillance.

When architect Moseley Putney took down a wall in a mixed-use development in Louisville, he revealed a 1985 David Wojnarowicz mural. “I popped a hole in the drywall and ripped enough out that I could put a flashlight on it. And there it was,” Putney said. “It was like looking into a freakin’ tomb.”
