In 2006 and 2007 we hosted open space symposia called opensource
(videodance). The idea we had was to break out of the academic
conference format where you never have time to discuss the really
important stuff and meet people properly. Within our interdisciplinary
practice we felt we needed to develop a discussion around a fairly
undefined critical framework. We chose to use open space technology
for this.

and it functioned pretty well we think. The low res version of the
book of the 2006 proceedings is now available here as a free download
and the 2007 book will be published later this year.

I'd be interested to find out if anyone else used this open space
technology method in arts symposia?
