Con-figuring With Others
Con-figuring With Others
Talk/discussion @ Kulturverein zur Schießhalle

Project Description
Twenty+ years of FLOSS design practices have generated a whole range of examples of how websites, publications and illustrations can be made with a spectrum of free software tools that enable collective ways of working. In this panel, we would like to share how the practice of configuring tools has shaped how we work with others: relearning from others, reusing others' work, forming a distributed network of practices across our hometowns, Brussels and Rotterdam, with open ends that cross other places.

Open Source Publishing
Artist Bio
OSP is a graphic design collective based in Brussels. We work on typography, websites, web-to print tools and plotters. We exclusively use free and open source software (F/LOSS). Through our projects we question software as cultural objects and modes of collaboration between graphic designers, artists, cultural institutions and schools. We question the influence and affordances of digital tools through the practice of (commissioned) graphic design, teaching and applied research.
