Hong Kong protest artwork removed from display.

A Hong Kong department store removed a digital artwork that contained hidden references to jailed dissidents, in an incident the artist says is evidence of erosion of free speech in the semi-autonomous Chinese city. The artwork featured a panning surveillance camera and flashes of Matrix-like text showcasing the names and prison sentences of convicted activists and other prominent figures in the pro-democracy movement. It was unclear whether the government played a role in the decision to remove the artwork, but the incident highlights the growing concerns over free speech and artistic freedom in Hong Kong since the enactment of the National Security Law.
