Another fascinating piece of work that I have stumbled across while researching for my self initiated project. These so called "Dead Drops" are a series of USB data keys physically installed in a number of locations across New York to act as anonymous, information deposits that allow users to share files and digital information outside of the internet. Very cool.
This also reminds me of a modern day version of Letterboxing, an orienteering based pass-time that involves participants hunting for a number of physical deposit boxes hidden in various locations, inside which is a stamp that can then be added to the participants collection as proof of their discovery.
I am a recent graduate of the BA graphic design course at Central St Martins, University of the Arts London and am currently working as a freelance designer. This blog was used to record my day to day activity during my time at university and since graduating it has not been updated.
