THE PIRATE CINEMA

* Video: https://vimeo.com/67518774

In the context of omnipresent telecommunications surveillance,
“The Pirate Cinema” reveals the hidden activity and geography
of Peer-to-Peer file sharing. The project is presented as a
monitoring room, which shows Peer-to-Peer transfers happening
in real time on networks using the BitTorrent protocol.
The installation produces an arbitrary cut-up of the files
currently being exchanged. Users IP addresses and countries
are displayed on each cut, depicting the global topology of
content consumption and dissemination.
