Description
DVD Dead Drop is a commissioned installation by artist Aram Bartholl at the Museum of the Moving Image, organized by curator Jason Eppink. A slot-loading DVD burner is embedded into the side of the museum; visitors who insert a blank DVD-R receive a curated digital art exhibition. The installation ran a series of themed volumes over its 15-month run.
