Surf safely while sipping coffee: For the “Autonomy Cube” exhibition by Trevor Paglen and Jacob Appelbaum, the Edith-Russ-Haus becomes an Internet café. On four dates, you can enjoy coffee specialties from Tante Käthes Kaffeebar and surf the Internet for free on your own device. As part of the café, a film on the history of telecommunications, surveillance and the Cold War will be shown continuously in a loop.
