Top 8 — Nuclear Samurai

Nuclear Samurai

In the early days of social media, the one thing you could always depend on was that Tom would be first in your top 8 when you started on Myspace. There was something so simple about the idea of social media back then, something much less sinister than the algorithm driven manipulation of our worst flaws to be used against us. The spectre of something darker piggy backed in with that friendly face. While we were keeping track of our top 8 were we serving ourselves, our data up on a platter to what would become all consuming to our lives within a few short years.

Analytics and advertising privacy

Optional analytics and advertising. THE DAM uses Google Analytics only after you choose optional tracking. Analytics only allows cookies and technical device information to measure visits. Analytics + advertising additionally allows Google to use that activity for advertising measurement, personalized advertising and remarketing. Where enabled and permitted by your Google account settings, Google Signals can associate site activity with signed-in Google information to provide aggregated demographic, interest and cross-device reports.

We do not send your form answers, email address, phone number, wallet details or URL query strings to Google through this implementation. User-provided-data matching of contact details is not implemented. Donations and form submissions are not automatically recorded as completed conversions. You can use the museum, submit an inquiry or donate without accepting optional tracking.

Your choice is stored in this browser for 180 days on this site. Use Analytics privacy to change or withdraw it; withdrawal stops future collection after the page reloads, but does not delete data already received by Google. To ask about your information or request deletion, contact [email protected].
