I just posted a huge updated version of one section of my Kryptos site this evening, focusing on all of sculptor Jim Sanborn's work. I've got info on over 100 different pieces of artwork, ranging over nearly 30 years of his career (so far).

My efforts have been paying off, too, such as with the KGB document that was found in the Smithsonian archives, plus learning about extra "Covert Operations fragments" tucked into private collections and galleries here and there, and also some intriguing things I've learned about three engraved compasses in three different installations of Sanborn's from around the DC area (one of which is Kryptos) that are all pointing in distinctly non-north directions (hmm, maybe they triangulate on something?).

He's also got a new show opening in November called "Atomic Time - Pure Science and Seduction" about the origin of the U.S. nuclear weapons program. Supposedly it's going to be quite controversial, as some of it will cover the related ethical dilemmas, and will be skating the edge of what is and isn't allowed to be revealed in terms of classified information. I've obtained some of the advance press images of the as-yet-unopened show, and you can see those as well at the new Sanborn page by clicking on the link below.

I'd also like to ask for help on something, regarding the Kryptos research. Kryptos is actually a multi-piece set, with different parts scattered around CIA Headquarters, and I've learned that there's a brief glimpse of a couple of them in a Will Smith movie, "Enemy of the State", during an overhead shot of CIA Headquarters at one point. Does anyone reading this happen to know where I could get a still of that scene?

Thanks much,

Elonka :)
