“Our pictures are fleeting and elusive. In the far future, bits of hard drives may be fossilized in limestone, and discarded iPhones may find themselves encased in amber, hardened like nail polish, but the bits of humanity that these exquisitely crafted machines hold will be lost to time.”
Trevor Paglen, The Last Pictures

“No matter how secret a particular satellite was, it had to obey the same laws of physics as the rest of the solar system.”
Trevor Paglen, Blank Spots on the Map: The Dark Geography of the Pentagon's Secret World

“The CIA, an agency designed to operate outside the law, was now free to pursue its vision of a new world, to create new geographies, and to keep that world's details far from the public record. The black world was supercharged with newfound life and purpose.”
Trevor Paglen, Blank Spots on the Map: The Dark Geography of the Pentagon's Secret World
