Swiss artists send Julian Assange a self-photographing package

A group of Swiss artists has come up with a novel way to try to communicate with Julian Assange, currently being given asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy: sending him a package.

Bitnik, an artist collective based in Zurich, Switzerland, said that its parcel contains “a cell phone, camera and battery pack. Through [the] hole in the packet the camera takes pictures of the packets surroundings and uploads them to our website.”

The group has been live-tweeting the progress of the package since it was sent Wednesday by postal mail from another London location to the WikiLeaks founder. So far, the group knows that the package has arrived inside the embassy, but it has not been opened yet—WikiLeaks has confirmed it by Twitter as well.
