$5M In Torrented Files Presented As Art

ideonexus snips thus from Wired: "The Art 404 gallery is currently exhibiting a piece by Manuel Palou called '5 Million Dollars, 1 Terabyte' which is a 'sculpture' consisting of a 1 TB external hard drive containing $5,000,000 worth of illegally downloaded files. The hard drive is displayed on a pedestal at the gallery." Adds ideonexus: "There is a PDF of the files stored on the device with links to the torrents." I'd like this to be an exhibit at every trial in which gigantic money damages are claimed for copyright infringement.

So it has two songs on it?

At current RIAA prices isn't that just two MP3s?

Re:A PDF?

The concept is fine. I'm working on a similar project right now. The stupid part is calling it art.

Didn't you read the summary? It's Art 404. 404 is "not found". Therefore it is not found art.
