[Debconf-discuss] Art Installations in NYC using Free Software
Hey all,
If you are interested in seeing some art installations that use
(almost) all Free Software, there are two projects that I worked on
that are open to the public and free as in beer:
Moveable Type, Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen.

Each of the 560 screens is also a little ARM computer with a speaker.
The setup is a custom Debian-based distro running Pd for sound and
Python for the screen and communications logic. As far as I know,
each of these computers is running 100% Free Software.
Magnum Mark, at FLAG Art

Magnum is a photographers' collective that has been around for
decades. This is an exhibit of works from a range of Magnum
photographers from journalists to artists. I created the digital
display system which is Pd/Gem running on Ubuntu. The 10 screens are
running 99% Free Software, all except the fglrx video driver (the open
source one was close, but not quite there :'-( ). The video
projection is on an Mac running Pd/Gem since that machine was already
in place.
