Openness & Do-It-Yourself in the Social Networks
Since the 80s, the platforms of networking have been an important tool to share knowledge and experience to create works of net art. The concepts of "Openness" and "Do-It-Yourself", today more and more relevant with the diffusion of Social Networks, have been the starting point for the development of punk culture and hacker ethic.
Tatiana Bazzichelli reflects on these topics with a video contribution (Editing: Jonas Frankki).
