If you wish to use the `--caption` flag to add image captions read from EXIF comment metadata you will need a utility called `exiftool`.
You can install it via your package manager. For other options please consult the website: [https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/](https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/)
Distribusi was first conceptualized as a tool which supported a contribution by Dennis de Bel, Danny van der Kleij and Roel Roscam Abbing to the [ruru house](http://ruruhuis.nl/) organized by [Reinaart Vanhoe](http://vanhoe.org/) and the [ruangrupa](http://ruru.ruangrupa.org/) collective during 2016 Sonsbeek Biennale in Arnhem. During the biennale time the ruru house was a lively meeting place with a programme of discussions, workshops, lectures, culinary activities, performances, pop-up markets and even karaoke evenings, where curators and Arnhemmers met.
The contribution consisted of setting up distribusi.ruruhuis.nl (distribusi is bahasa Indonesian for 'distribution') which was a website connected to a server in the space. Rather than a hidden administrative interface, the server was present and visible and an invitation was extended to visitors to use it to publish material online. This was done by inserting a USB-drive into any of the ports. The distribusi script would then turn the contents of that stick it into a website. Once the USB-drive was removed that website was no longer on-line. Over time distribusi.ruruhuis.nl hosted photos, books and movies. The website is now off-line but the tool that was used to make it is still used in Varia
> "Individuals collecting fragments each have their own folder. When they put a story, picture, audio, or video file inside a folder, each fragment is assigned a serial number, and gets accumulated in the fragments of hospitality website.The fragments connect us. We hope that we can choose the “nature and attitude” of the medium that mediates our connection."
> An attempt to make distribusi into a web interface that can be operated remotely without any knowlegde of CLI. Trying to somehow combine the ideas of distribusi with the ideas of a [tildeverse](https://tildeverse.org/) or [Tilde club](https://tilde.club), but also be neither of these ideas. This project is made for Autonomous Practices at the WDKA in Rotterdam.
