Floss+Arts: The hard way or surviving cynicism in art and technologies
Keynote by Julien Ottavi (APO33)

This keynote explores the challenges and triumphs of integrating Free Libre Open Source tools in artistic practices, highlighting the essential role of community driven platforms in fostering innovation and creativity. In a world where the intersection of art and technology often grapples with cynicism and skepticism, the FLOSS (Free Libre and Open Source Software) movement offers a beacon of hope and resistance. Through the experiences of APO33, this lecture underscores the significance of freely accessible tools and collaborative environments in overcoming the barriers imposed by commercial and proprietary systems. How FLOSS principles can not only survive but thrive in the ever evolving landscape of art and technology? How artistic communities use free software not only as tools but also to inspire new practices and new ways of working together?
