Submission + - Porn & recipes found on Toronto's dead drop 1
rudy_wayne writes: "Whenever I think of people secretly exchanging information, I envision money bags left behind loose bricks and secret documents hidden in a hollowed out book. As it turns out, this method of sharing information has a name — it's called a "dead drop". In October 2010, Berlin-based media artist Aram Bartholl decided to modernize the idea and created five USB dead drops in New York City. The idea is simple: a USB flash drive is embedded into a wall or other public space using cement. After that, anyone can access the drive and leave and take files as they please."
According to Lauren Souch at blogTO, "In early November, a dead drop appeared in Toronto. The drop currently contains twelve recipes, a list of fictional drug use in movies (with hyperlinks!) and a guide on how to make a homemade stun glove using a disposable camera. Of course, there are also a number of pictures loaded on the USB — 45 to be exact — and I was not surprised to find roughly 40% of the pictures are either half-naked women or porn."
