Five micro SD cards glued to finger nails, total capacity 128 GB, curated digital content Aram Bartholl, 2016
Post-Snowden Nails is a set of five micro SDcards glued to the finger nails of one hand. Each card contains a different set of data which can be accessed with the help of a SD-card-USB adapter. The data finger nail plugs directly into a computer USB port (or phone), in some cases an extension cable might be useful.
