peer to peer art - The aesthetics of ephemerality

The thing that seems the most interesting idea behind this project is that the artist will, in theory, never see their work again. They delete all the files (or burn the film?!?!!) they used to make the piece, release it on bit torrent, and never download it again.

It's a really forward thinking concept, very much like performance art in that the performer can never become the viewer (unlike in painting, illustration, and typical video/film).
