New Yorker puts usb drives into walls, creates offline file sharing network


Aram Bartholl has installed 5 usb drives into walls in New York. He did so, so that people could anonymously share files.  It's like an offline New York only, wait your turn Limewire.  If you want to check out any of the 5 drives head to 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) and West 21st Street, NY (Eyebeam).  This is a really cool idea, if just not for fun, I wonder what kinda of files will be uploaded.  Next time I am in New York i will check out at least one of them for you guys.  Follow the link and check out Aram's blog for more info, or check out his flickr page for a picture log of the process.  datenform.de, flickr page
