::fibreculture:: Openhere Festival: November 14.11-16.11

[Rachel O' Dwyer]

​*Open*here *14.11-16.11 2014*

3D printed goods, cryptocurrencies, digital sharing – just some of the
disruptive online practices and technologies that are transforming and
reshaping our economy. These innovative technologies have impacted the
market, enabling new business models, evolving market conditions and
transforming economic and social landscapes. However, the commodification
and commercial adoption of these disruptive technologies has also raised
concerns and questions in terms of access, control and sustainability. How
can we develop these practices to not only support a digital commons, but
also to support more equitable and sustainable worlds?


*Open*here is a 3-day international festival and conference where online
practices such as sharing, peer-production and open source meet real world
material economies. The program brings together researchers, artists,
engineers and activists to critically engage alternative economic models
and digital currencies, open source hardware and ecology, and new forms of
peer production and sharing happening at the intersection of digital and
real world spaces. Sessions include talks, panel discussions, workshops and
screenings.


*Participants include:* Benjamin Tincq, Brett Scott, Cathal Garvey, Chelsea
Rustrum, Denisa Kera, Duncan McCann, Eli Gothill, Gawin Dapper, Geraldine
Juárez, Graham Barnes Kevin Flanagan, Lana Swartz, Linda Doyle, Lúí Smyth,
Nigel Dodd, Nora O’ Murchú, Peter Hanappe, Rachel O’Dwyer, The Robin Hood
