Recently, I was on a visit to New York to close an insurance deal. While passing through the endless blocks of banks, insurance companies, stock brokers and forex companies, I came across this strange USB jutting out of a wall. After a bit of analysis and research, I found out the real story.
Aram Bartholl is a media artist who is based in Berlin. This artist is busy creating a trail that leads from Paris to London and the trail is made up of USBs embedded in walls. Each USB that he has left in walls or other public places are empty and contain only one text file. The project is quite amazing actually and you’d be amazed at why it is being done.
Here Is Why USB Drives Are Buried In Walls All Across New York
Good
it is mac compatable or only for windows ? lol
Stupid idea and poor realization. Developer would simply made interesting website. This project actually ends up with images of poorly inserted USB flash sticks into the various walls end of story. Imagine average Joe or Jane with a line: ” I will stretch my legs today in a long walk, I should probably carry my 3, 4, 5, 6 10 pound laptop with me to injure my spine” or “I should make every effort to dig trough this 8, 12, 32 gigs of crap in order to find noting useful here”, two points for artistic expression.
please do shut up…
If you are not able to find the correct sort of frames in a particular brand

Although the project it designed so that clients can write to them, so in that case, use a little common sense and don’t run any suspicious files. If you’re running Windows 7 or later, then you won’t have a problem with autorun. So if you get a virus from these things, it’s your fault.
huge security risk! not sure if this project was well thought through…
I am not into prostit*&ion of any kind. Using a USB that’s been in everyone’s laptop is just wrong on many levels.
Haha in south africa theyll just break the wall down to steal the usb pfft. Could be fun though leaving hardcore porn or something on there and wait for the next guy tp get a heart attached troll level 90
Interesting definitely raises security concerns viruses spyware trojans all around the world
Wouldn’t work in South africa,the fuc#ers here would break down a building to steal it
So they’re waterproof then?
USB’s are pretty hardy, my husband found one while returfing an oval, it was an older one and had rust spots but it still works.
Empty and contains one text file…. That’s not empty then!
I would fear snapping the USB or the laptop. I guess this could be solved with a USB extension cable.
The the risk of viruses would be a big concern.
Yeah i carry a usb extension cable all the time in my laptop bag.. You never know when u need that to charge a phone or extend a dongle etc,,
Weeks of work installing, seconds for one basted to move his laptop awkwardly, snapping the usb in half.
Virus Alert!!!!!!!
