The students in our CPCW/Writers House/ICA year-long seminar are hosting a DIGITAL SWAP MEET. It runs in conjunction with the Maira Kalman exhibit "Various Illuminations (of a Crazy World)" currently at the Institute of Contemporary Art, and is the realization of a project called MILTON. Maira Kalman envisioned Milton as a conceptual space for pleasure and exchange, and DIGITAL SWAP MEET esteems those qualities above all others.Come upload, download, snoop, peruse, and plunder during this four-day media swap.

Within our four terabytes of space, you're sure to encounter something eye-catching to take home with you, and to find room to upload your own files.
