Call for Bristol Artists Participation - BSDeathdrive

BSDeathdrive is an anonymous off-line file-sharing network actively rejecting the online and virtual world. The project aims to create an interactive art distribution activity between artist and public mapping the creativity of the city and initiating a range of future activities.

At this point, we are seeking artists to participate by uploading work and files onto the Deathdrives over the following weeks throughout April so there are works/files on them in time for the official launch as part of the Bristol Art Weekender (2-5th May). The project will then go live to the general public as part of the BAW and will feature as part of an associated art trail.

Files shared up to this point will be copied and presented as part of a BSDeathdrive video/audio installation at Spike Island Open Studios throughout the weekend.
