1 Terabyte Drive containing $5 Million Illegally downloaded Files
All in an honest day’s work… This work consists solely of a 1 TB Black External Hard Drive containing just under $5,000,000 worth of illegally downloaded files.
“5 Million Dollars 1 Terrabyte” (2011) is a sculpture by Manuel Palou currently showing at Low Budget Gallery. Manuel Palou draws attention to the overwhelming value of information, but also it’s compact and accessible scale. A full list of the downloadable files with links can be found here (PDF).
