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 ^[1] 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.
