The digital age that we live in has changed the way events happen. They happen now instantly. New goes around the world in seconds. This audio file explores the idea and impact of Wikileaks. Wikileaks has caused a information war around the globe in a matter of second with the help of the internet.
The basic music I have used for this is a song called Uncle Sam God Dam, by Brother Ali. This song discussed the hypocritical nature of this country. I feel as though the song lends light to how the US might break an amendment to prosecute wiki leaks. I have also mixed in various news clips that lend light to the panic that these leaks have caused. The static also lends to that feeling. I have also layered in audio from a trailer for a documentary that discuses cyber warfare and how it has changed how we look at war, and how just information it self-can start a controversy, and how the internet has armed every one around the world with this power. Wikileaks is just one group using this power, what will happen when more follow like them/ what will this lead to? Can we possibly imagine a world of censorship where the government filters every thing on the Internet? That’s a scary thought in my opinion, and that was the message I tried to convey.
