UK free and open source art exhibit

Rob Myers writes in about "Collaboration and freedom – the world of free and open source art":

A collection of artworks, texts and resources about freedom and openness
in the arts, in the age of the Internet. Freedom to collaborate â€“ to
use, modify and redistribute ideas, artworks, experiences, media and
tools. Openness to the ideas and contributions of others, and new ways
of organising and making decisions together.

This non exhaustive collection is intended to inspire, inform and enable
people to apply peer-to-peer principles for making things and getting
organised together. We hope that all art lovers, makers, thinkers,
organisers and strategists will find something for them from this set of
imaginative, communitarian and dynamic contemporary practices.

Collaboration and freedom – the world of free and open source art
