Towards a Free/ Libre/ Open/ Source/ University

By Paula Roush.

http://www.furtherfield.org/features/articles/towards-free-libre-open-source-university

Paula Roush explores the growing interest in free and Open Source 
practices in art. This report maps out these shifting relationships in 
contemporary models of education both online and offline. Recent 
expansion of so-called ‘free culture’ has contributed to placing the 
debate over authorship, ownership and licensing of the artwork at the 
centre of artistic production. Crucially, the transformation of art in 
the age of global culture and the consequent move from autonomous art 
objects into cultural artworks and services, has resulted in the 
emergence of new visible tendencies.

Born in Lisbon, Paula Roush lives in London where she is an artist and 
lecturer at the London South Bank University and University of 
Westminster. More about Paula Roush - http://www.msdm.org.uk/
