Behind Mark Zuckerberg’s deceptively vacant stare from the cover, inside the Dec. 27 TIME magazine Person of the Year issue, there is an exceptionally fitting application of text art: Julian Assange’s portrait made from WikiLeaks cables text. The NYC-based Malaysian artist Leon Lim sent the portrait in to TIME earlier this month, along with kudos to Assange for “setting things right.” Source image: one of Mark Chew’s portraits from this series.

Get the cables @ http://dazzlepod.com/cable/ – the site grants you access to all WikiLeaks cables in a nicely formatted table and search feature to look for cables based on your entered keywords. Cables will be shown with your keywords highlighted.
The site makes studying cables easier compared to looking them up at the primary WikiLeaks page at http://wikileaks.ch/ which lacks these functions.
