Call for participation
Workshop "Peer to peer design strategies"
by Emanuele Bonetti (Italy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3, 4 and 5 November 2010, 9:30-12:30 14:00-18:00
Poitiers, France | make art 2010 | "In-between design"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

max 6 participants

During the workshop participants will be asked to complete a design 
commission using an alternative peer-to-peer collaboration method.

The aim of the workshop is to complete one finished work of graphic 
design that all the participants find satisfying. This workshop serves 
as a test case and experiment to show that peer-to-peer design 
methodologies can serve as a serious alternative to traditional, 
hierarchical design project work flow.

The workshop is open to everyone with a maximum of six participants.
Participation is recommended for all the three days but participants can 
also choose to attend only one or two days.
The work produced during the first day will be carried on by the 
participants of the second say and so on.

During the workshop participants can use the graphic design software 
which they are the more familiar with as long as they are free/open 
source software, together with a set of self-written Internet 
applications developed for this project.
