During the event the RAQs Collective will initiate a discussion on the
topic of “The Strange Destiny of Open Source in the Nation State”
accompanied by a presentation on intellectual property issues by San
Jose based writer and librarian Steve Cisler. The salon will consist
of short 20-minute presentations followed by an “open mic” and a
lively Q&A. An open wine bar and food will precede the presentations
and dessert will follow.

for Media Culture. Raqs is a collective of artists who work in new

This Design + Technology Salon follows up on the first successful
event in November which featured Amy Franceschini of
Future Farmers, Ian McDonald, and Scott Snibbe all helping to define
what is design + technology in contemporary society. This event
expands upon this initial discussion by moving the focus from
contemporary practictioners to the topic of Open Source and Open
Content.
