LONDON GALLERY WEST
LIBRE GRAPHICS
CULTURE AND PRACTICE
15 APRIL – 22 MAY 2016

London Gallery West is delighted to present Libre Graphics Culture and
Practice, bringing together work by artists and designers whose creative
practices are influenced by free software – software whose source code
is freely shared. Enabling new approaches to intellectual property and
copyright, digital artisans and creative technologists have emerged with
concerns around participation, collaboration and co-creation in creative
software development. The selected work allows a critical look at
software as cultural production, rather than just technological tool.
