What does Free and Open Source software (FLOSS) provide to artists and
designers - beyond just free alternatives to established tools from Photoshop
to Final Cut?

"FLOSS+Art" is the first book to answer this question. It shows how the value
of Free Software lies in its differences and creative challenges, as opposed to
out-of-the-box and off-the-shelf solutions; how it allows to work and
collaborate differently with computers, and therefore enable different kinds of
art and design.

The Internet - whose infrastructure is based on free software and open
standards - is an obvious example of such an adaptable, collaborative artistic
medium. "FLOSS+Art" also covers more traditional artistic domains such as
graphic and audiovisual design, and how they shift from customer-centric to
community-driven work.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

FLOSS+Art critically reflects on the growing relationship between Free Software
philosophy, open content and digital art. It provides first-hand insight into
its social, political and economic myths and realities.
