You Won’t Believe What’s Hidden In These Walls Around The World
By |
Berlin-based media artist Aram Bartholl is leaving a trail from Paris to London of something special for the world to find: USB dead drops. Each USB driven Bartholl leaves is hidden in plain sight, buried in walls of stone or other public places. What he left them there for (and what you can use them for) is truly amazing.
Bartholl created an anonymous offline peer-to-peer file sharing network in public spaces by placing a number of USB drives around the world.
Everyone is invited to drop or find files on a dead drop. All you have to do is plug in your laptop.
Each dead drop is installed empty, except for a readme.txt file explaining the project.
After starting the project 5 years ago, it”s since been replicated around the globe, with hundreds of offline sites waiting for you to visit.
It”s time for you to discover what others have placed there for your watchful eyes.
Here are some of our favorite spots.
