Readme, the festival
Readme is an international festival for software 
art and cultures. Certainly the most popular 
slogan of software art is “people doing strange 
things with software. Our everyday environments 
are increasingly based on software. By e.g. 
intervening in existing commercial software or by 
designing its own solutions software art directs 
our attention to these programmed structures that 
normally remain invisible. Readme was initiated 
in Moscow, Russia, in 2002. In the following 
years Readme has travelled to Helsinki (FI) and 
Aarhus (DK). The Readme activity has brought to 
life Runme.org - a unique online software art 
repository. The fourth edition of the festival, 
entitled “Readme 100 - Temporary Software Art 
Factory", focuses on the notion of production. 10 
artistic/theoretical concepts dealing with the 
topics of spam, open source, hacking, 
outsourcing, search engines and coding, have been 
selected from the roughly 100 submissions. The 
commissioned works from Australia, Argentina, 
France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Russia, 
Spain and Switzerland will be premiered during 
Readme100 in Dortmund, Germany.
