Postmaster General Louis DeJoy admits he doesn’t know how much it costs to mail a postcard

Project description

[jesseengland]

The United States Postal Service allows you to preview your mail before it is delivered. I took advantage of this feature to create animations from mailed postcards, like a flipbook scanned through the lens of a federal institution. 

It began as an art project with general criticism of government surveillance; these same images of mail are offered by the USPS upon request to almost any law enforcement agency, without warrant. However, in mid August, it quickly shifted towards something much more direct: Criticism of the newly installed, useless Postmaster General, and sincere encouragement to USPS workers to disobey and obfuscate his directives however they may.

Hi everyone, sorry to have lapsed on emoticons-translated for so long. I’ve been working on a new project tangentially related to translation; in this case, it’s about memory and media archaeology. Thanks~ (=｀ω´=)
