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.
