a micro-festival celebrating open source practice in media art and music
folly and Sound Network, http://soundnetwork.org.uk, are kicking off the
Summer with an exciting collaboration bringing a micro-festival of art
and music to Liverpool, as part of the European Capital of Culture.
Liverpool has a strong history of doing innovative things with
electricity, from the birth of the power grid (Sebastian Ferranti) to
the early computer games industry (Psygnosis, Ocean, and ZTT). Liverpool
also has a formidable musical legacy inevitably centred around the pop
phenomenon of The Beatles but which spans every musical genre from
classical to electro.
Open Source City tips its hat to Liverpoolıs pioneering spirit by
offering a programme of art, workshops, masterclasses, talks and
concerts that shed light on the growing impact of Free/Libre Open Source
Software on the creative practices of today, in particular in media art
and music.
