ABOUT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Un-cloud your files in cement! ‘Dead Drops’ is an anonymous, offline, peer to
peer file-sharing network in public space.



‘Dead Drops’ is an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in
public space. USB flash drives are embedded into walls, buildings and curbs
accessible to anybody in public space. Everyone is invited to drop or find files
on a dead drop. Plug your laptop to a wall, house or pole to share your favorite
files and data. Each dead drop is installed empty except a readme.txt file
explaining the project. ‘Dead Drops’ is open to participation. If you want to
install a dead drop in your city/neighborhood follow the ‘how to’ instructions
and submit the location and pictures.

I  am a Berlin based media artist and started  the ‘Dead Drops’ project during
my stay in NYC at EYEBEAM as artist in residence, October 2010. Dead Drops was
part of the show “Talk to Me” at the MoMa July-Nov 2011.
