On Saturday 11th February, ‘Anonymous’ and the fledgling Partido Pirata AR assembled at the Obelisco in Buenos Aires to protest the passage of ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement), as part of a world-wide protest. While on the small side, Buenos Aires ‘represented’ in the global day of protest. These protests ‘in real life’ are gathering steam as the fight for the future of the open internet comes to a head. Photographer Beatrice Murch shares her photos from the event.
