What is FLOSS?
 Be a media artist!
You have a crazy idea in mind, but you don't know how to make it happen. You are interested in media art, but you step back in front of the expensive and unfriendly softwares. Break all the obsstacles of making yourself a media artist, create and exhibit your first media art piece on this last module of FLOSS in Media Art workshop!
FLOSS stands for "Free Libre and Open Source Software". Pure Data, an excellent example of the FLOSS idea, is a programming language that can be used in a wide variety of multimedia creation. It allows you tailor your own software to match the requirements of your own art piece. 
 
About the workshop
The workshop series presented by Videotage include 3 modules:
Pure Data & Media Art - June 2005 
Intro to Artistic Operation System - July 2005 
Digital Dreams in Practice - August 2005
On this project-based workshop, students will implement their media art piece, whether VJ performance, net art etc, under the assistance offered by the instructor.
 
What will I be doing?
You will be shown the basic operation of Linux and creative possibilities by using Pure Data. You will also have a chance to develop your own media art piece with the support of the instructor and Videotage. Students will have a chance to perform their pieces on the August 27 party.
