TAKEAWAY Festival - Do It Yourself Media
TAKEAWAY Festival - Do It Yourself Media
This 3-day festival combines hands-on workshops, exhibitions, lectures and discussions.
A silent revolution is taking place. People are transforming themselves from media consumers to producers, using the new tools, software and technologies at their disposal. From the expanding realm of free and open source software (FLOSS), to peer-to-peer (P2P) distribution and 'pervasive' mobile and locative technologies, the unprecedented possibilities exist to create and disseminate our own media experiences.
TAKEAWAY Festival Do It Yourself Media is here to help you take part in the revolution, and to understand what it's all about. Learn how to make your own online journal, blog, live stream or wiki in our workshops. Talk to those who are making the tools and those who are finding new and innovative ways to make use of them. Discuss the implications of 'free' and P2P culture, changes in how we make culture and art, and how we will be able to live, and learn, in the coming media environment.
What can you take away from TAKEAWAY Festival? Workshops, exhibitions, lectures and discussions are designed to give you a hands-on experience and first hand knowledge of networked and interactive media.
