Still/Open: Call for Submissions
Still/Open is a series of workshops organised by the Australian Network for Art and Technology focusing on the practice and theory of open source approaches as applied through networked art and software development, print and online publishing, and in the scientific arena. EngageMedia programmer Andy Nicholson will participate as a Lab Facilitator in the workshops focusing on the development, deployment and methodology of free software.
Still Open focuses on both the practice and theory of open source which can be applied through networked art and software development, print and online publishing, and in the scientific arena where the open science movement encourages a collaborative environment in which science can be pursued by anyone who is inspired to discover something new about the natural world.
Lab Facilitators are publisher and media artist Alessandro Ludovico (Italy) editor in chief of the online and print publication Neural; free software hacker and new media activist Andy Nicholson (Australia) who is part of the EngageMedia collective; and interdisciplinary artist and researcher Beatriz da Costa (USA), who works with open Science.
Still Open will be as a series of two-day workshops in Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane, each accompanied by a public evening forum. Facilitators will work with 15 artists, scientists, writers and developers in each city to introduce these modes of thinking and resources for collaborative and distributed development; to provide hands on experience; and to initiate local networks and projects.
