Pirate Cinema (2012-2014) - Nicolas Maigret
Pirate Cinema is an installation/performance that streams a continuous real-time projection of fragments from torrent file downloads around the world. The artwork uses a custom P2P tracker to capture pieces of audiovisual data from peer connections, creating an ever-shifting, mosaic-like representation of global downloading activity. The project visualizes the often hidden processes behind file-sharing networks and explores the aesthetics of data piracy.
