caption_attribution_description: Trevor Paglen, Jacob Appelbaum Autonomy Cube Tor network Relay &amp;&amp; Hotspot
context_page_description: The Autonomy Cube was an art project run by American artists and technologists Trevor Paglen and Jacob Appelbaum which places relays for the anonymous communication network Tor in traditional art museums. Both have previously created art pieces that straddle the border between art and technology. The cube is in line with much of Paglen's and Appelbaum's earlier pieces in targeting the field of surveillance and government snooping. The sculptures consist of 1.25 ft blocks of acrylic Lucite containing Wifi-routers based upon two open source hardware Novena-motherboards.
