About the photos and video

Revelations that U.S. intelligence agencies had been extracting personal information from people across the country were exposed by NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden last year. The one photo the NSA have provided of their headquarters in Fort Meade is thought to have been taken in the 1970s. Inspired by the ‘invisibility’ of the U.S. intelligence community, artist Trevor Paglen rented a helicopter and took photos of three of the most powerful intelligence sites in the country.
