LGRU (Libre Graphics Research unit)
The Libre Graphics Research Unit is a traveling lab where ideas for creative tools are developed.
Its diverse activities range from the practical to the theoretical via writing, research meetings, experimental prototyping, conferences and workshops. The Research Unit is an initiative of four European media-labs actively engaged in Free/Libre and Open Source Software and Free Culture. This cross-disciplinary project involves artists, designers and programmers and is developed in dialogue with the Libre Graphics Community.
The unit is co-organized by Constant (Brussels, BE), Medialab Prado (Madrid, (ES), WORM (Rotterdam, NL) and Piksel (Bergen, NO).
LGRU was initiated on 13th of June 2011 at Medialab Prado, Madrid. WORM in Rotterdam will host the 2nd project meeting on the 7th-11th December 2011.
