| "The piece documents the artists' experience after exploring the U.S. Military Defense Data Network, using a command called WHOIS and his own name as a filter, he was able to get a list of U.S. military personnel and civilians with military connections who share some portion of his name. Through this work, the artist explores the place of the individual and the omnipotence of the network database as arbiter of information, privacy and power." | ||||||||||||||
