The screen displays datamoshed videos combining livestreams, chatroom footage, and military clips, accompanied by an ominous audio mix of Orwell\u2019s 1984, text-to-speech readings of surveillance keywords, and low droning sounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":548,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-612","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesmalzahn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesmalzahn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesmalzahn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesmalzahn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesmalzahn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=612"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/jamesmalzahn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":702,"href":"https:\/\/jamesmalzahn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/612\/revisions\/702"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesmalzahn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesmalzahn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
