Dead Drops

This is one project that takes peer-to-peer sharing to a whole new level. Berlin based designer Aram Bartholl. has designed an anonymous, offline, peer-to-peer public file sharing network. essentially Aram is 'injecting' USB's into walls, curbs and buildings that are easily accessible to the public. 

You are invited to go to these places ( 5 in NYC so far) and drop files you think are worth sharing or just have a look at what people have shared so far. All you have to do is plug your laptop into the wall, house or pole the USB is embedded into to get cracking. Every USB key comes with a readme.txt file that explains the purpose of the whole project

Current NYC ‘Dead Drops’ Locations:
87 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY (Makerbot)
Empire Fulton Ferry Park, Brooklyn, NY (Dumbo)
235 Bowery, NY (New Museum)
Union Square, NY (Subway Station 14th St)

Dead drop is a project in the works and is hoping to expand firstly in a number of cities across america and then across the world!

What a fine idea!
