Artist
Anders Weberg has created a 73 minute experimental video, made for -
and only available on - peer-to-peer (P2P) filesharing networks. The
work was offered by the artist until one other user downloaded it, on
15th Sepetember, after which point he deleted the original file and all
the materials used to create it. "There's no original" said the artist,
pointing to the fact that the work now only exists as a digital copy,
and possibly will be distributed no further if the downloadeder decides
not to share it further. Alternatively the film could be copied,
and even changed, many times over.
The artist is telling users to feel free to download the film and
distribute it anyway you like as long as it stays on the peer to peer
networks.
"Filter is fully based on the emotions that I experienced in the
beginning of 2006 when I woke up one night and found my son unconscious
on the floor. A couple of minutes passed by until I could bring him
back. The fear and desperation I felt during this time is what the film
is all about."
