GOTO10 and pure:dyne host an evening dedicated to Free Software and art…

* BOOK PREVIEW: Be the first to check out FLOSS+Art, a new openmute publication reflecting on the growing relationship between Free Software ideology, open content and digital art. Edited by Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk.

* PANEL DISCUSSION: Anthony Iles moderates a panel discussion on communities of collaboration, online and off, with book contributors Matthew Fuller, Olga Goriunova, Aymeric Mansoux; and artist/activist Stefan Szczelkun.

* SOFTWARE PARTY: Check out the new Debian-based pure:dyne system – the GNU/Linux distribution for media arts. Meet the developers and hear about pure:dyne projects by our  friends at Folly (Taylor Nuttall), Access Space (James Wallbank), HTTP/Furtherfield (Marc Garret & Ruth Catlow), Dave Griffiths and Adnan Hadzi.

pure:dyne is an essential tool created to provide a  complete, Free/Libre/open source (FLOSS) custom and ready-made GNU/Linux computer environment for media artists. The pure:dyne CD can be inserted and run on a computer without the need to install anything, with an aim to make it simple to use on many types of hardware. It contains FLOSS programs for recording and manipulating sound, making live visuals and creating interactive media in installation, and more.

This event is part of the pure:dyne for everyone project, a national series designed to make pure:dyne more accessible through special events with partnering media arts centres across the country. * PLUS: pure:dyne promo goodies, Free Beer and more!
