Open Sesame, Open Source
I did a talk last night for Its Nice That magazine on open source art projects, alongside amazing graphic designer Ken Garland. Its was really enjoyable and enlightening (and I'm never going to look at political graphics in the same way again).
In hommage to the open source sense of collaboration and information access here is a list of all the links and subjects I discussed:

Hennessey Youngman on Relational Aesthetics
