Who’s watching who?
Simon Denny uses material from the Edward Snowden leaks to tackle issues of mass surveillance and national identity. What does privacy mean in an online world? What are the implications of New Zealand’s role in the ‘Five Eyes’ intelligence alliance? And why does the United States’ National Security Agency employ a Creative Director?
