Two questions as "the ghost of our time" are wondering over Europe:

• what is useful to learn to continue thinking freely?
• is there something as a learning community?

Open Daemon Lab is a monthly meeting of people involved in crafting free digital culture. It is a meeting place for electronic artists setting up their own workshops and collaborative art projects; is a open lab; is a informal gathering for idea sharing. Is a place to investigate meaning and media transformations.

The Daemon project, as an Unix Daemon, allows communication to happen. As a lesser greek deity, allows the being to access a more prosper and happy state, eudaimonia (happiness, to have a good daimon), or to end up in despair and misery if mistreated. We feel strongly the need to have productive contact and sharing with our fellow researchers, and to keep the process in an harmonic, balanced, free cultural form. Our aim is to gather fellow artists, thinkers, engineers and creative in a research and development place where to focus on free and open source hardware and software technologies.

Our first goal is the open-studio: creating a temporary location accessible on a periodic base, where creatives can experiment & develop feasability of their media-art, exchange freely fresh ideas and experiment with technologies. Interested people are free to join the sessions. Question and answer, problem solving and development are researched & shared with fellows. New topics and discussion items will be proposed freely by paricipants and natural links and connections between them will favor joint projects and cultural exchange.

Concept: Denis Jaromil Rojo, Federico Bonelli - of course inspired by all of us
