For this new commissioned work, artist Aram Bartholl (Berlin) will embed an inconspicuous, slot-loading DVD burner into the side of the MMI - Mueum of Moving Image NYC, available to the public 24 hours a day. Visitors who find the Dead Drop and insert a blank DVD-R will receive a digital art exhibition, a collection of media, or other featured content curated on a monthly cycle by Bartholl or selected artists. DVD Dead Drop imbues the act of data transfer with a tangibility left behind in a world of cloud computing and appstores, using a medium—the digital versatile disc—that is quickly becoming another artifact of the past.
