MAKE ART 2009 - What The Fork?!
distributed and open practices in FLOSS art
--
CALL FOR PROJECTS
--
make art is an international festival dedicated to the integration of
Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) in digital art.
The fourth edition of make art ? What The Fork?! distributed and open
practices in FLOSS art - will take place in Poitiers (FR), from the
7th
to the 13th of December 2009.
make art offers performances, presentations, workshops and an
exhibition, focused on the encounter between digital art and free
software.
We're currently seeking new, innovative FLOSS works and projects:
music
and audiovisual performances, presentations, software demos, and
installations.
This year make art focuses on distributed and open practices in FLOSS
art. 'What the fork?!' is about decentralisation. Forking is the new
black. Forking, copying the source code of a project and continuing
work on the copy instead of the original, used to have a bad
reputation.
It would split a project and its developer community in pieces,
leading
to different, often incompatible, projects. Wasted effort, rivalry and
developer fights were all associated concepts. This is history.
Forking
a project with the intention to compete with it is another story, but
the freedom to fork enables quick implementation of features and
customization, bypassing acquiring committer status, bugfix or feature
request protocol, working in a distributed way, together with others
but
not necessarily towards one goal, working from one source,
cross-fertilising, inspiring, copying, patching, improving,
experimenting, changing direction, and merging. This practice is
boosted
by decentralised software development tools, such as Darcs, Mercurial
and Git. It's not about quick hacks, but about creating room to
experiment, letting go of the one working copy and creating a
multiplicity of ideas.
Deadline : 15th of July 2009.

MAKE ART 2009 - "What The Fork?!"
pratiques distribu?es et ouvertes en art FLOSS
APPEL A PROJETS
make art est un festival international d?di? ? l'int?gration des
Logiciels Libres et Open Source (FLOSS[1]) dans l'art num?rique.
La quatri?me ?dition de make art ? "What The Fork?!" pratiques
distribu?es et ouvertes en art FLOSS ? se d?roule ? Poitiers (FR),
du 7
au 13 d?cembre 2009.
make art propose des performances, des pr?sentations, des ateliers et
une exposition, centr?s sur la rencontre entre l'art num?rique et le
logiciel libre.
Nous recherchons actuellement des projets r?cents, innovants, bas?s
sur
des logiciels libres et open source : performances musicales et
audiovisuelles, pr?sentations, d?monstrations de logiciels et
installations.
Cette ann?e make art sera centr? sur les pratiques distribu?es et
ouvertes en art FLOSS. Dans 'What the fork?!' il est question de
d?centralisation. Le fork c'est le bien. La pratique du Fork, qui
consiste ? copier le code source d'un projet puis de continuer ?
travailler sur une copie plut?t que l'original, a ouvent eu mauvaise
r?putation. Car cela engendrerait une scission au sein du projet et de
l'?quipe de d?veloppeurs, et conduirait ? des projets diff?rents et
souvent incompatibles. Efforts gaspill?s, rivalit?s et querelles de
d?veloppeurs, autant de concepts qui y sont associ?s. Tout ?a c'est de
l'histoire ancienne et cr?er le fork d'un projet dans l'intention de
rivaliser est encore une autre histoire. La libert? de faire un fork
permet la mise en oeuvre rapide de nouvelles fonctionnalit?s et de
personnalisations, en contournant la n?cessit? d'acqu?rir le statut de
celui qui d?pose et valide (le "committer"), en contournant les
protocoles de corrections de bug ou de demandes de nouvelles
fonctionnalit?s, en travaillant de mani?re distribu?e, ensemble avec
d'autres sans ?tre oblig? de suivre le m?me et unique objectif, tout
en
travaillant depuis la m?me source, mais en op?rant par fertilisation
crois?e, en insufflant, en copiant, en patchant, en am?liorant, en
exp?rimentant, en changeant de direction et en fusionnant. Cette
pratique est largement boost?e par les outils d?centralis?s de
d?veloppement de logiciel tels que Darcs, Mercurial ou Git. Il ne
s'agit
pas de hacks faits ? la va-vite, mais la cr?ation d'une chambre
d'exp?rimentation, qui laisse de c?t? la copie unique du travail et
qui
d?multiplie les id?es.
Date limite : 15 juillet 2009.
