About the Business
A unique project by Aram Batholl; "Dead Drops is an anonymous, offline, peer-to-peer file sharing network in a public space." USB drives are embedded (with putty or cement) into a wall, brick crevice or any other hole found in a city and followers can connect it to their laptop. The user can then download any files that are on the USB stick or upload files they'd like to share with the world - I suppose it's a bit like a modern-day message in a bottle! It also has a spy element to the concept as Wikipedia states that "spies have also been known to use 'dead drops' in order to hide secrets or instructions."
Batholl says that 'Dead Drops' has evolved from a number of projects where he enjoys mixing up the digital world with the physical world, by injecting the city walls and surfaces with data.
So the big question that you're probably wondering is what do people upload on to their USB drive?
