An international festival dedicated to the integration of Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS)
Make art is an international festival dedicated to the integration of Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), open practices and free culture in digital arts. Each edition of make art offers performances, exhibitions, presentations and workshops, focused on the blurred line between art and software programming. The event is dedicated to free software artists, open hardware hackers and command line fetichists.
Exhibition
This year's exhibition will explore the abyss of the real and virtual machines and the hidden activity of the operating system. You will see works that will puzzle you, make you think about what is our relationship with networks and computers, and we will not forget to make you play a bit with it!
