In the context of Digital DNA, discuss the Vandalism of the History and controversies.
Two weeks prior to the unveiling, Digital DNA was vandalized.  Six circuit boards were removed from the sculpture and several wires were pulled out, but Varella was able to repair the damages before the event.  An earlier plan to install surveillance equipment in the plaza was reconsidered as a result of the vandalism.  Police speculated that the crime was committed by drunken patrons of local bars.In April 2008, a public-private partnership (including city staff, Levy, and Rapp) renewed the 2004 undertaking to revitalize Lytton Plaza with a large-scale redesign.  The old proposal, which did not incorporate Digital DNA, was never approved, but will be revisited.  Levy expressed the group's desire to present a plan to which everyone can agree.  According to Sunny Dykwel, a leader of the advocacy effort, Digital DNA is a beautiful piece of art, which they intend to protect.
