Subject: [ox-en] Open Source Architecture: NOW! - msg#00016List: politics.oekonux.englishHello, We are sorry for cross-posting, but we would like to inform you about a project in Forum Stadtpark in Graz (Austria), the project initiated by ortlos architects, on one of the most interesting topics in contemporary architecture and net.art practice: >>networked creative collaboration<< based on principles of open source architecture. Anything we do today belongs to the retro future. This state helps to describe "open source architecture" in more detail. Architecture must be seen like an open work of art, which is performed by using today's technological possibilities and experiences. This means the "code" of architecture must be open and free in terms of planning strategies and methods. This is not a catchphrase. This concept already works. Unfortunately, it comes from other areas. Architecture needs to become part of the global community again instead of being an esoteric pseudo-science providing nothing but commonplace services. This radical crusade against traditional architecture will be led in particular by young architects, designers, musicians, network performers, programmers and other actors that have dedicated themselves to indefatigable creative investigation and experimentation. They will do so for five days. For this purpose, they will not choose 12 but exactly 5 different approaches (workshop, lecture, conference, installation and exhibition). It would be ideal for this venture if everything could be spread on one side or page, on one and the same surface (one abstract shape without beginning and end): true events, historical conditions, drafting of ideas, individuals, social groups and constellations. This would enable us to be there exactly at the right time, i.e. neither 5 minutes early nor 5 minutes late. __PROGRAMME__ 5 DAYS, this is the period covered by this mixed event, at which altogether 5 types of artistic presentation overlap and intersect. EXHIBITION __ a self-generating show of permanent production during the event ... 5 LECTURES held by the 5 participants + the hosts ... the INSTALLATION supporting the collaborative approach __ open platform + open forum with the mur.at community WORKSHOP and interaction with the public relating to the defined topic ... CONFERENCE for exchanging ideas and defining terms and definitions, strategies, techniques and aspects of "open source architecture" __ DATE: November 15 - 19, 2004, end of the exhibition December 3, 2004 url: http://opensource.ortlos.at If we choose "Open Source Architecture" as a strategy and A.N.D.I. (A New Digital Instrument for creative networked collaboration - http://www.ortlos.at) as a working instrument, "City Upgrade" is the topic that is relevant right now. The objective is to identify and discuss the architectural, urbanistic and artistic problems of medium-sized European cities, define the complexes of problems and elaborate solutions in an interdisciplinary forum. Through workshops aimed at an international audience, the project will be presented and made accessible to a large public. A kind of "community" will be established, and creative forums from various sectors will be won for the project. Their networking, interlinking and close co-operation will make it possible to condense the problems and allow all kinds of approaches imaginable to be discussed. The code of architecture, its alphabet, needs to be changed! p.s.

Online version: http://www.newscientist.com/opinion/opbooks.jsp?id=ns24705 -------- From an online version of The Hacker Manifesto hosted at the Hungarian zine Subsol it can be read: "41. The arrest of the free flow of information means the enslavement of the world to the interests of those who profit from information's scarcity, the vectoral class. The enslavement of information means the enslavement of its producers to the interests of its owners. It is the hacker class that taps the virtuality of information, but it is the vectoralist class that owns and controls the means of production of information on an industrial scale. Privatising culture, education and communication as commodified content, distorts and deforms its free development, and prevents the very concept of its freedom from its own free development. While information remains subordinated to ownership, it is not possible for its producers to freely calculate their interests, or to discover what the true freedom of information might potentially produce in the world."
