Unlike software possible to build hardware that is not just a collection of simple primitive electrical systems, or on the other hand, an assemblage of industry built low level components. So what is open about open source hardware? Many embraced Open Source for political reasons, and do the same now with open source hardware. But isn’t that too simple? It is time to shed some light onto the dark side of Open Source hardware.

ABOUT THE SOFTWARE:

pure:dyne is an essential tool created to provide a complete, Free/Libre/open source (FLOSS) custom and ready-made GNU/Linux computer environment for media artists. The pure:dyne CD can be inserted and run on a computer without the need to install anything, with an aim to make it simple to use on many types of hardware. It contains FLOSS programs for recording and manipulating sound, making live visuals and creating interactive media in installation, and more.

This event is part of the pure:dyne for everyone project, a national series designed to make pure:dyne more accessible through special events with partnering media arts centres across the country.

Supported by the Creative Partnerships programme of Arts Council England.
