Autonomy cube : Trevor Paglen and Jacob Appelbaum

The book is a critical analyzes 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.
