ABOUT THE SOFTWARE:

pure:dyne is an essential tool created to provide the first complete, 
Free/Libre/open source (FLOSS) custom and ready-made GNU/Linux computer 
environment for media artists. The pure:dyne CD can be inserted and run 
on a computer without the need to install anything, with an aim to make 
it simple to use on many types of hardware. It contains FLOSS programs 
for recording and manipulating sound, making live visuals and creating 
interactive media in installation, and more.

This event is part of the pure:dyne for everyone project, a national 
series designed to make pure:dyne more accessible through special events 
with partnering media arts centres across the country.
