Open Source HW+SW:

A defence against obsolescence

Steep learning curve, but advantageous for increasing understanding of digital media

Page 18: Open Source Hardware Technologies in Art, Design, Interaction, Learning and Teaching.

Distinctions between Open Source / Proprietary / Obsolete / Emergent media + the division between hardware and software should be rendered null and void in the mind of the artist…

…it’s all material, go MAKE something
