Aibohphobia: The Reifier's Schadenfreude

Luke Demarest

Hacker? Activist? Neophyte? This shift-of-gears workshop aims to create a relaxed trans-disciplinary environment where all conference goers can create new thought processes around how we use language and art. We'll look at free software ideologies, reasons to use and create free software for art, and look at two programmatically generated 3D printed sculpture series. The sculpture series, created in part with free software and free hardware, explore communication, word play, and digital rights across media. Workshop participants will get to touch, feel, and play with sculptures.

LibrePlanet is the Free Software Foundation's annual conference. The FSF campaigns for free/libre software, meaning it respects users' freedom and community. We believe that users are entitled to this; all software should be free.

We do not advocate "open source".

That term was coined to reject our views. It refers to similar practices, but usually presented solely as advantageous, without talking of right and wrong.

Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 by announcing development of the free operating system, GNU. By 1992, GNU was nearly operational; one major essential component was lacking, the kernel.

In 1992, Torvalds freed the kernel Linux, which filled the last gap in GNU. Since then, the combined GNU/Linux system has run in millions of computers. Nowadays you can buy a new computer with a totally free GNU/Linux system preinstalled.

The views of the speaker may not represent the Free Software Foundation. The Foundation supports the free software cause and freedom to share, and basic freedoms in the digital domain, but has no position on other political issues.
