[-empyre-] prototyping fairy tales

[Gabriel Menotti]

Dear empyreans:

I have been away and I will need some time to catch up will all the
threads, but it is great to see the discussion taking so many
directions! Thanks again to Sonia for the diy bio contribution and to
everyone that engaged in debate.
	
I believe that thinking through prototyping was a way of getting away
the regular open source ('vs free software') discussion, focusing less
on structure and ideologies than towards material practices (and their
localization to one another). It’s interesting to see this
(repressed?) ‘rise of open source discontentment’. Maybe this calls
for a new, more detailed debate on the subject?

Let’s see what turns the discussion takes with our next guest,
Alexandra Antonopoulou, who will discuss the making of the future
fairy tales!

(On a sidenote, how relevant it is that the free nature and organic
modes of circulation of fairy tales are not able to prevent movie
companies from adapting them in multi-million dollar productions?)

Best!
Menotti
