Libre Graphics Research Unit: Innovating tools for creative production
Piksel produksjoner er partner i dette prosjektet som har fått støtte fra EUs kulturprogram i 2011. Prosjektet baserer seg på fire lab som skal komme opp med nye ideer om hvor kreative verktøy utvikles. Dette gjøres gjennom research møter, utvikling av software, en konferanse og en workshop.
The Libre Graphics Research Unit is a traveling lab where new ideas for creative tools are developed. Its diverse activities range from the practical to the theoretical via writing, research meetings, experimental prototyping, software development, a conference and a workshop.
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 other stakeholders and is developed in dialogue with the Libre Graphicscommunity.
Central question: What future practices can we imagine, and which tools can make them happen?
The Libre Graphics Research Unit is a two year project aiming to:
- Bring artists, designers, F/LOSS developers and standards engineers around the same table to exchange ideas and share experiences.
- Develop research that inspires innovative ideas about digital tools and future artistic practice.
- Provide platform to artists and designers to engage in the construction of tools and standards that matter to them.
