Most PCs today are equipped with a commercial operating system.
The Microsoft Corporation has a virtual monopoly through its Windows product.
Despite the fact that some of its users already have infected it with hundreds of computer virus',
demonstrating its weaknesses, it still remains the number one choice amongst the users. Moving Art Studio wishes to thank Frédéric Jadoul for his help.
"Le Collectif Sans Nom a fait le choix autant pour chacun de ses
membres que collectivement de se mettre en porte à faux face à
une société
qui érige la valeur "argent" comme seul critère
et comme seule logique
d'existence, au risque d'opérer une rupture avec une légalité
qui cautionne cette valeur "argent". Par ce fait-même, le collectif
entre en résistance contre les logiques marchandes qui ont pour principales prétentions
de réduire l'humain à un produit que l'on jette après
usage."
As we were busy with the project about digital money we decided to ask them some questions on their perception of money.
This videostream is a short editing of the dialogue in French language which took place in their squat.

In contrast to traditional operating systems where the source code is a closely guarded secret,
the free distribution of such a code allows for the participation of the users,
which in turn continually improve and update it very quickly. Over and above their obvious
benefits, through being free, open source software offers a social alternative by opening
up access to cutting edge technology for anybody.
Throughout the workshop we constructed PCs from scratch and installed them with free software.
The aim was to develop artistic content on an open, high performance platform (LINUX), and to investigate
in practice manipulation of images, sound and networking. The present videostream has been taken during the
initial two weeks of the workshop.
