Swedish artist Anders Weberg has been working on an interesting project over the last year that explores the intersection of contemporary art production and distribution. P2P-ART.com is a series of projects made for, and only available through peer to peer networks. A succinct statement describes the project as follows:
The original artwork is first shared by the artist until one other user has downloaded it. After that the artwork will be available for as long as other users share it. The original file and all the material used to create it are deleted by the artist ... Feel free to don't or download the film, watch it and share it for as long as you like. Or delete it immediately. The aesthetics of ephemerality.
Thus far Weberg has distributed four video projects in this manner. The imagine accompanying this post is a still from Emphasis, which can (probably) be found by plugging Emphasis[2008]by.Anders.Weberg.P2P-ART.com.XviD.avi into your favourite search engine.
