Note: I am just filling in here, as many of my journalist friends who would be much better equipped to do political interviews are in Turkish jails. Unfortunately, many Turkish professionals have been arrested, forced into exile, expropriated, and intimidated. As soon as Zehra Doğan, Meşale Tolu, Ahmet Şık, Ömer Çelik, Seyithan Akyüz, Akın Atalay, Kemal Sancılı, and Deniz Yücel (to give just a random and incomplete list) and all others are freed, I promise I will go back to writing about JPEGs or VR. Please support the freedom of journalists, writers, artists, and liberal and leftist activists in Turkey, or you will have to endure more terrible journalism. —Hito Steyerl
