changed: - Makeart festival (Poitiers/FR) Organised by Goto10, Make Art is a festival dedicated to the integration of "free and open source" software in electronic art. Artists and programmers will take the audience on a journey through this emerging culture via concerts, conferences, software presentations, exhibitions and a workshop. Make Art is centered on the blurred line between artists and software developers. With the emergence of Internet and the democratization of computers, the general public is more and more often confronted with hybrid software conceived by qualified artists with strange and varied titles: programmer artists, software artists, digital artists, (new)media artists... They conceive their own creative tools or work hand in hand with the software programmers, contrarily to those who commission technicians and other ghost programmers. Make Art constitutes a tool for reflecting on the propagation of free software in artistic creation and we want it to be a view onto the social, political and economic myths and realities linked to this phenomenon. Next edition : from 2nd to 8th April 2007 in Poitiers, France.
