Title: Willem de Kooning Academie strikes back: open source approach in art and design BA education
Preferred day
Thursday, April, 11th.
Summary
Three years after the LGM presentation "How to Run an Art School on Free and Open Source Software" that described the central role of free software and free culture in the networked media branch of the Media Design and Communication Master at the Piet Zwart Institute, today the Willem de Kooning Academie is back to share its current progress on a new and exciting challenge in its approach to formal education: the design of three new open source related curriculum for art and design BA students. In this presentation we will give you all the what, when, how and why aspects of these new courses and we hope to open up the discussion on topics rising from such a project, namely on the question of openness of open source driven curriculum, technological forecasting within art and design free software communities, hybrid proprietary and open source software environments, licensing and the use of of free software tools and infrastructures in digital literacy.
