the content of this video sequence was dowloaded from a p2p network. p2p, meaning peer to peer, is a network on the internet comprised of millions of files located on individual hard drives all across the planet. these networks are at the heat of the debate about digital copyright laws and the freedom of sharing various mediums across the web.

we have used these source files and manipulated them, to breath into them, a new life and to create a new discourse and new end result. our interest in this project is to display the dynamic ability this medium provides and to stress the importance of information across many boudaries. if we lose the process to communicate and share across the digital domain then i ask you, 'what is next?'. artists of all walks of life, throughout history, have used resource material to challenge ideas, decipher knowledge and to create some of the strongest art of modern times. without content and information we will kill the progression of ideas, art, architecture and life. -- feel free to email us and/or read the additional content below to learn more about this battle for information. -- related topic files: lawrence lessig's keynote at the open source convention 2002. -- title: PEER TO PEER -- artist: michael ammerman -- year: 2004 -- size: 17.3 mb -- music: moby. whisper to a scream
