Day: July 27, 2011

The digital file based artworks in the Street Show, which were perversely kept offline and made available only on a USB stick stuck in some bricks on 21st Street in NY*, were quickly downloaded by a group of old school code phreaks calling themselves 0-Day Art. That organization is making the files available as a Torrent.
Their revolutionary rhetoric, minus the mid '90s-style green ASCII letters on black screen:

|  0-DAY (pronounced as zero day) - refers to any    |      
|  copy of work that has been released the same day  |    
|  as the original, or sometimes even before. It is  |  
|  considered a mark of skill among warez distro     |   
|  groups to crack and distribute a program on the   |         
|  same day of its commercial release.               |

"We're going to take it offline for the collector, 
so they can just have it locally."

*but not too inconveniently located near an art & technology not-for-profit.
