> David Fifield, lead developer of the meek [1] pluggable transport,

> The Art of Dissent
> ------------------
>
> Laura Poitras, Pulitzer Prize-winning director of the Academy
> Award-winning âCitizenfourâ and public advocate for Tor and Tails [4],
> documented a collaboration between the Tor Projectâs Jacob Appelbaum and
> artist Ai Weiwei â both of them âartists, journalists, dissidents,
> polymaths â and targetsâ â involving a âzone of hyper-surveillanceâ,
> shredded NSA documents, and several cuddly toy pandas.
>
> Lauraâs film is available to view on the New York Times website [5] as
> part of its âOp-Docsâ series, accompanied by an article in which Laura
> describes her interest in âthe way being watched and recorded affects
> how we act, and how watching the watchers, or counter-surveillance, can
> shift powerâ.
