For Our Times: 50 Pirate Works

James Bridle

For Our Times: 50 Pirate Works consists of fifty copies of Charles Dickens' Hard Times. Presented as externally identical paperback books, each text has been reworked in some way to illustrate issues of appropriation, piracy, authority and algorithmic intervention in the digital age.

The work is currently on show as part of the exhibition After The Bit Rush at Mu Gallery, Eindhoven, until December 23rd, 2011.
