OPEN technologies workshop, Zaragoza, Spain, June 26th - July 1st
http://www.0j0.org/pmwiki/index.php/Events/GohanDevelopmentJun07
******* FREE WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT *******
Arduino, Pd, and Processing are becoming more and more intertwined.
Sensors controlling software synthesis, robots controlled by video
tracking, custom musical instruments, and more. We are a collection
of developers working with these free software tools. Join us to work
on projects of these combinations, or help us create new
possibilities by bringing these tools ever more intertwined.
This event is a combination of a hacklab and a barcamp. We are
following the ad hoc, participant-driven nature of the barcamp in
combination with the collaborative work studio environment of a
hacklab. If you have not been to a hacklab, barcamp, and/or
unconference before, here are a couple of good references to get an
idea of the way it is done:
BarCamp on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp
There will be workshops and talks, and plenty of time to work. We
will all be working together to create projects which will then be
exhibited in Zaragoza. Bring one or more of the following: ideas,
projects, a desire to learn, a desire to teach. Come everyday to pick
up skills and finish your project. Come whenever you can to learn new
bits and pieces, and help build compelling things to exhibit!

pdp_qt/pdp_yqt doesn't work with all codecs (yet?). Try MJPEG, JPEG,
PNG. Those are among the best codecs to use for live video
processing anyway since they take the least CPU to decode.

- free software to produce art and the art of producing free software
- economy of an open digital artwork
- FLOSS as an embedded political message in digital art
- paradox and limitations of open licenses for digital art
- FLOSS as a way to quote and embed other artworks in a new one
- digital artist as a FLOSS developer/user and vice-versa
- definitions and manifestos for a free software art
- branching and forking of an open digital artwork
- opening digital art to ensure future maintainance and porting
