THE FUTURE OF OFFLINE FILESHARING VIDEO
A great video made by OddOne during The Future Of Offline Filesharing Masterclass with Aram Bartholl and David Darts during The Dutch Technology Week in Eindhoven.
In the era of growing Internet surveillance, filtering, ACTA, 3-strikes and censorship, offline data sharing is becoming more and more important for freedom of communication. Centered around the projects Dead Drops by Aram Bartholl and PirateBox by David Darts, this masterclass aimed to find new ways to share data in an offline mode.
What is the best way to send a file to a friend? How can I store data anonymously in public space? What are the best components to build up a local offline sharing grid? Will animals play a role in the future of offline filesharing?
During this masterclass, participants explored these questions and learned everything they needed to know from Aram and David to make their own Dead Drops and PirateBoxes. They also developed their own new ideas for offline filesharing and experimented with them around the Strijp-S terrain in Eindhoven.
This project is a collaboration with STRP / MU and supported by Strijp-S Cultuurfonds. More info here.
