Wikileaks Video Inspires Street Art

December 20, 2010

More art inspired by Wikileaks has made its way to the streets. Art that merges still images taken from a leaked video and HUD imagery from Halo 3 has been released as street art in Valencia, California. The unique art went up last week. The imagery is a combination of Halo 3 HUD elements and stills taken from a video leaked by Wikileaks in which U.S. soldiers shoot at civilians from a helicopter. The video shows two Reuter's reporters and unarmed civilians being murdered. The overlay, one would guess, is that the soldiers operating the helicopter were shooting at people as if it was a "video game."

This is the second piece of art from artist "Sandwich," whose first piece showed a picture of Wikileaks front man Julian Assange with the message "If you don't know, now you know."

MaskedPixelanteI'm thinking that in two weeks or so, Microsoft will announce a $300-$350 subsidized Xbox One, depending on the monthly price of Gold next gen.06/17/2013 - 7:04pm
Andrew EisenAnd what, super-over-deliver the value?06/17/2013 - 5:44pm
ZippyDSMleeThen price it at 299. >>06/17/2013 - 5:32pm
Andrew EisenMicrosoft says it's "over-delivering value" with it's $499 price point for Xbox One. http://www.destructoid.com/microsoft-xbox-one-overdelivers-value--256472.phtml06/17/2013 - 3:59pm
ConsterMy phone may have the possibility of an internet connection, but I consider that inferior to it having a radio functionality, allowing me to listen to songs, and record them, for free. Internet is overrated sometimes.06/17/2013 - 1:48pm
Andrew EisenProbably should have said Mattrick STILL doesn't seem to realize...06/17/2013 - 12:23pm
E. Zachary KnightDidn't he say the same stuff before E3?06/17/2013 - 12:18pm
Andrew EisenDon Mattrick doesn't seem to realize that smartphones, tablets and PCs still work when they're not online. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/125083-Xbox-President-Says-World-Has-Changed-From-Offline-to-Online06/17/2013 - 12:18pm
E. Zachary KnightNolan Bushnell talks about learning through games. Great interview with Reason TV.06/17/2013 - 12:04pm
E. Zachary KnightThat would be neat, but I am thinking more of case mods that still show off the real size of the Ouya. I will have to see what else is out there. The 2600 Joystick may work, but I don't have one to check.06/17/2013 - 12:03pm
ImautobotOr how about an old Atari 2600 casing?06/17/2013 - 11:57am
ImautobotWhy not just put the thing in a old SNES/N64 console housing? I know it would be much bigger, but it's still Nostalgic.06/17/2013 - 11:55am
E. Zachary KnightBut if it is going to run too hot and fry, it wouldn't be worth it. I guess I will have to think of something else.06/17/2013 - 11:23am
E. Zachary KnightThat is why I wanted to check before attemping it. I had hoped that I could fit it inside a cartidge for an old school system like the SNES or N64.06/17/2013 - 11:22am
ImautobotEZK, I noticed that thing puts out some serious heat, without the fan I doubt it would run long.06/17/2013 - 11:09am
E. Zachary KnightAccording to Ouya Support, it is not recommended to remove the fan. I want to do a case mod, but if I can't remove the fan, that puts a wrinkle in it.06/17/2013 - 10:29am
ConsterStill happily rowing my 3DS+PC canoe - ships are overrated.06/17/2013 - 10:01am
ImautobotI'll be keeping my 360, but I don't play online enough to justify keeping XBL. Besides, I'll likely direct those funds to the Playstation Plus Service.06/17/2013 - 9:39am
PHX Corp@Imautobot, I'll still support the xbox 360, just not the xbox one. but I'll be thinking about preordering the PS4 for myself06/17/2013 - 7:57am
ImautobotI pre-ordered my PS4 over the weekend. Oh, and I canceled the auto-renew on my XBL account. That means I've officially jumped the Xbox ship.06/17/2013 - 7:28am
