Speaker
Description
Free software isn't just about the software itself, it is about the idea of knowledge being being part of a dialogue, of a process, rather than being an immutable product. In this talk, Eylul will look into her experiences in the intersection of her trans-disciplinary art, volunteering, advocacy and education, and take a practical look into not only what it is like to work as an artist using specific FLOSS software or Ubuntu, but also the reflections of the dialogues around free software and free culture on her artistic practice.
