Brit lights up Berlin with spies, lies and censorship art.

BERLIN (Reuters) - British artist and anti-surveillance activist James Bridle is illuminating Germany with artwork exploring the darkest state secrets, cover-ups and information blackouts.

Bridle's "The Glomar Response", showing this month at the newly opened Nome gallery in Berlin, resonates in a country where revelations by former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden caused widespread outrage.

The 34-year-old artist, who exhibited in London's Victoria and Albert Museum this year, named his first German solo show after the Cold War-era CIA rebuttal that it could "neither confirm nor deny" sensitive information leaked to a journalist. The exhibition is a mix of computer-generated prints, a looped film screening and collages of maps and classified documents.

"It symbolises the way military technologies, espionage and surveillance have trickled down to all aspects of everyday life," Bridle told Reuters.
