Cops remove bust of Snowden from Brooklyn Park; artists replace it with a HOLOGRAM!
Love it!
[font size=5]Hologram replaces Edward Snowden statue in Brooklyn park[/font]
NEW YORK — Hours after police removed an illicit bust of Edward Snowden from its perch in a Brooklyn park on Monday, artists replaced it with a hologram.
The group of artists — who collectively call themselves "The Illuminator" and are not related to the trio behind the original sculpture — used laptops and projection equipment to cast an image of Snowden in a haze of smoke at the spot where the sculpture once stood.
They say the action was a message of defiance aimed at the authorities who "censored" the piece, according to a tumblr post.
