Interactive USB Installations

Aram Bartholl's 'Dead Drops' is a Peer-to-Peer Sharing System

I wish I was visiting New York sometime soon so that I could participate in the 'Dead Drops' interactive art installation. I mean, not only would I be part of something unique, I would feel like a secret agent in the process.

Created by artist Aram Bartholl, 'Dead Drops' involves five USB flash drives that have been implanted into random walls around the city. The artist invites people to upload and download from any of the sites. You never know what you might get, but that's the beauty of it.
