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.

Concerned about Apple’s deletion of the 3.5mm headphone jack from the iPhone 7? Now you can use ancient pneumatic headphones instead of proprietary Lightning or Bluetooth devices. The phone's own internal speaker delivers sound to the ears through hollow tubes.

The software I tried to locate by re-drawing what I could remember from middle school has been located. I recalled some things correctly and incorrectly. (re-creation in B&W, actual is in color.) And the whole thing was way more violent than I remembered.

If you’re interested, I recorded myself playing through the simulation.
