MAY EDITION

If you live in or around New York City, you could try participating in ‘Dead Drops’. Taking your laptop to USB sticks that have been hidden around the city, plug in, and upload or download to your heart’s content.

"I am pleased to preview ‘Dead Drops’ a new project which I started off as part of my ongoing EYEBEAM residency in NYC the last couple weeks. ‘Dead Drops’ is an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space. I am ‘injecting’ USB flash drives into walls, buildings and curbs accessable to anybody in public space. You are invited to go to these places (so far 5 in NYC) to drop or find files on a dead drop. Plug your laptop to a wall, house or pole to share your files and date. Each dead drop contains a readme.txt file explaining the project. ‘Dead Drops’ is still in progress, to be continued here and in more cities. Full documentation, movie, map and ‘How to make your own dead drop’ manual coming soon! "

In the meanwhile drop some files here!

Now that the beta has been updated goblins have become available for play once again, and I have had the luck of being one of the few who test out this great expansion.
