Festival For Software Art and Cultures - Hartware MedienKunstVerein Dortmund 2005

This book discusses projects and research completed in the framework of the
Readme 100 Temporary Software Art Factory, which took place in Dortmund in
November 2005 and was co-organized by HartwareMedienKunstVerein.
It deals with the topic of production as it relates to software, sortware art and software cultures. Thus, it focuses not only on software as a product itself, but also on the experiment of its production through methods including outsourcing, use of open source solutions and self-prodution. Topics addressed include economies of arts, desire and openness, harmony of markets, the unmarketable, reverse outsourcing, resistant mapping and others.
The result is a multi-faceted collection of project descriptions, illustrations, texts and features relating to the theme of software art production. The book offers a vibrant entry into contemporary software art practice, thinking on software cultures, and creative developments in this sphere.
