OPEN 2009
- Media Lab Doctor of Arts Symposium (http://mlabsymp.uiah.fi/2009/call-for-papers/ )
Media Lab, University of Art and Design Helsinki
November 5.–6., 2009
Helsinki, Finland
OPEN 2009 – Media Lab Doctor of Arts Symposium focuses on the role of openness in a post-industrial society. The central argument goes as follows: Coupled with the continuous development of an open network infrastructure, new ways of organising, communicating and collaborating are rapidly changing the lives of people globally. The efficiency and resilience of these practices is bringing them from the periphery of the society towards its centre. Thus far, software development and media are areas where new organizational forms have been able to out-compete more traditional forms. Examples stemming from Linux software development and the Wikipedia community have widely been used to describe the trend. They are based on open knowledge and individual empowerment, representing an alternative for the traditional hierarchical power relation. We believe that the phenomena will continue to expand increasingly into other domains in the society.
ELIGIBILITY
The symposium is aimed for researchers, but invites insightful contributions from practitioners, designers, business professionals or activists, among others.
