[ITP2800] Occupy Wall Street + Tor for mobile devices

- Document a contentious public event with a mobile device
I went down to occupy wall street, and documented some of the goings on there. I avoided videotaping the police, and wanted to focus on the interesting people there and the events. I was able to ask a friend why they came down that evening. I watched the routine of eating and washing dishes, and keeping things clean. This is an orderly camp, with digital and organic amenities like internet/computer hubs and makeshift kitchens. The area is very open even though it is so crowded. The people was varied and the mood was excited. It was a very positive vibe.
I appreciated the message of Deepak Chopra, that the movement should come from a place of love and compassion for their fellow human, that anger could get them so far and that love ultimately would save the day. The general assembly was something to experience. For me, it was an entirely new way to participate in a group and to have intimate comprehension with the words of another person. Although slow, it was powerful. And when things were decided through it, it was very exciting.
