Apologies for X-posting

Artist Talk Saturday 9th October 2-4pm Free
Dominic Smith - “As above, so below”

Dominic will be talking about the nature of free/open source practice
amongst the arts. When artists choose to engage with FLOSS tools,
development environments and processes there is the inevitable
consequence that freedom and openness becomes reflected in their work.
As artists engage with the microcosmos of openly accessible code we
find that this exerts and influence upon macrocosmos of galleries,
festivals and related groups. He will be investigating what factors
are necessary for this parallel action, looking at examples and
discussing the motivating factors for artists when engaging with this
process.

Dominic is currently working on a PhD in curating at CRUMB, University
of Sunderland

He is a founder of the Polytechnic in Newcastle, an organisation
working with a hands-on, open and distributed approach to art &
technology.
