platform, 4thWallApp. Her most recent
project Contract Killers deftly weaves all
these threads together in a single series
-- one whose story, technology, imagery,
actions, locations, social histories, physical

prove you can make money so you can get
the microphone so you can start to truly
subvert effectively. Right now that’s the only
path, but we can still choose to protect the
vulnerable,” says Cahill. Contract Killers ex-
