Stolen digital photographs on display in London

LONDON (AP) — Two artists are showing off more than 10,000 private photographs they claim to have stolen from people’s hard drives.

It’s part of an exhibition at London‘s Carroll/Fletcher Gallery which features minute fragments chipped, cut or torn from works by Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, and others.

Gallery co-founder Steve Fletcher said Thursday that the artists were able to exploit filesharing blunders to take the images from computers around the world. They’re being projected in a slideshow at an exhibition due to open Friday.

Also on display: Bits and pieces of precious artworks sneaked out of museums.

Those behind the installation say they meant the thefts to be a tribute to the artists they love, theft and hacking are both illegal in the UK.
