[ AOS ] Art is Open Source reinventing the world using ubiquitous technologies

MACME

MACME (Multi Author Cross Medial Ecosystem) is a WordPress Plugin designed to transform your WordPress blog into a cross medial publishing system. MACME allows anyone to transform a WordPress blog into a publication that allows creating books, design objects and interactive experiences. Multimedia contents are automatically transformed into QRCodes and Augmented Reality Fiducial Markers, and integrated into mobile applications and location based technologies that can be used to place contents in places, objects, books (PDF and ePub), bodies and architectures.

you can access the MACME project on GitHub here: https://github.com/xdxdVSxdxd/MACME

or you can download it directly from Wordpress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/macme/

Art is Open Source

AOS, Art is Open Source, is the diary of the activities of xDxD.vs.xDxD / Salvatore Iaconesi and penelope.di.pixel / Oriana Persico.
We use technology, communication, performance, art and design to instantiate emotional actions and processes that are able to expose the dynamics of our contemporary world.
We do this in academic, artistic, business and activist domains and, actually, we are focused on moving fluidly among each of these spaces.
