&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make Art 2010, &lt;/strong&gt;Festival of free art and technologies****&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make Art is an international festival dedicated to free/libre arts and
technologies, distributed digital artworks and net art. The sixth
edition of Make Art focuses on works halfway between art and design,
collaborative, scalable and participative methods. The adventure
"in-between design" begins here, to be imagined in this creative
development, where everyone can participate and where artwork keeps on
evolving. Are these projects just curiosities or a real alternative to
the graphic conformism ruled by an industry that dictates its aesthetic
codes? Please come and join us to answer this question...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make Art is organized by the collective
&lt;a href="http://goto10.org/" title="GOTO10 collective"&gt;GOTO10&lt;/a&gt;, and its design is by
&lt;a href="http://www.lafkon.net/" title="Studio Lafkon"&gt;Lafkon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</content><category term="News"></category></entry><entry><title>Speak my language</title><link href="https://blog.osp.kitchen/tools/speak-my-language.html" rel="alternate"></link><published>2010-07-06T15:30:00+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-06T15:30:00+02:00</updated><author><name>Alexandre</name></author><id>tag:blog.osp.kitchen,2010-07-06:/tools/speak-my-language.html</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;A couple of  days ago I was looking at the OSP blog trackback list and

work of Lafkon studio. Lafkon is Christoph Haag and Benjamin Stephan --
two graphic designers working with unconventional tools for graphic
design, including Latex and shell scripts among others Unix commands, to
make generative designs. With the Unix philosophy in mind, they show how
written language -- be it found in the graphic resources coded in plain
text (SVG), the scripts, and even in the filenames --  can be used as a
powerful interface/means to produce graphics.&lt;/p&gt;
