Wikileaks information. The background picture, the computers separated by a wall from the Wikileaks symbol, is meant to show the limits of our access to information, either there is a wall between us or a filter that we must go through. This is what Wikileaks claims and it is what the organization is trying to fix. However, the truth in the picture, upon further examination, could in fact be composed of a chain of lies. The baton passing is meant to show a disconnect between information we are given and the truth, whether that information is from Wikileaks or from our government. The final two pictures symbolize the power of Wikileaks no matter if it is posting true information or not. The organization has the world in its hands, and can drastically affect politics and government, and the impact on the world could be as significant as a meteor.
The collage does a better job of representing the power of Wikileaks and its potential effect on the world. However, text more readily conveys the analytic side of the argument, the nuances of politics and the logic and ethics behind potential misinformation.
