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

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; it is an open lab; an informal gathering for idea sharing. It is a place to investigate meaning and transformation of media.

The Daemon project, as an Unix Daemon, allows communication to happen. As a lesser Greek deity, allows the being to access a more prosperous 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 hackers in a place for research and development, where we 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 anyone is welcome to come and experiment & develop feasibility of media-art, exchange freely fresh ideas and experiment with technologies.

A space for questions and answers, problem solving and development to be shared. New topics and discussion items will be proposed freely by participants and natural links and connections between them will favour joint projects and cultural exchange.

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