I would agree that this is also a cool idea (although I think the only giant question is if this would hose us on the lease?)<br><br>Assuming that there isn't a big lease issue, then I would say...drill baby drill (into a wall).<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13pt">I am writing on behalf of
the students of the <b>San Francisco Art Institute 2011 Master of Arts
Collaborative</b></span><span style="font-size:13pt">.<span> </span>We are seeking to establish a
partnership with Noisebridge to help make our project, <i>Transit/Stasis:
Negotiating Movement in the City</i></span><span style="font-size:13pt">, a
success. Toward this goal, we would like to enact German artist, <b>Aram
Bartholl</b>'s<b> </b>project, <i>'Dead Drops'</i> in various participating sites in</span><span style="font-size:13pt"> San Francisco in early April
2011. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br><span style="font-size:13pt"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13pt">We respectfully request
support from Noisebridge by allowing us to install a <i>'Dead Drop'</i>
in an exterior wall of the building. We would like to install between
April 8 and 20, 2011. We would be most honored to acknowledge
Noisebridge as a
partner on promotional materials related to this project.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13pt"><i>Transit/Stasis</i></span><span style="font-size:13pt"> addresses how the movement of individuals through the
urban environment is informed by cultural, economic and political systems (e.g.
ability, borders, topography, psycho-geography, and social identity.). <b>Aram
Bartholl</b></span><span style="font-size:13pt">’s work creates a platform
for both human movement in urban space and flows of information. His current
project, <i>‘Dead Drops’</i></span><span style="font-size:13pt"> creates a
physical representation of information mobility and human mobility in urban
space playing with the central question of TRANSIT///STASIS: <i>“How do we
navigate systems of movement and how do systems of movement navigate us?”</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13pt"><i>'Dead Drops'</i> involves the installation of flash hard drives into
public spaces allowing the public to share files with one another outside of
the Internet infrastructure. Somewhere in between interventionist art practices
and fluxus art boxes, his project has been picked up by artists around the globe
and has become decentralized in its execution. This project, along with his
others, both engage popular trends in technology and culture while maintaining
a salient critical force. More information on ‘Dead Drops’ is available at
