Open source "...is a set of principles and practices that promote access to the design and production of goods and knowledge".

The term is most commonly applied to the source code of software that is available to the general public with relaxed or non-existent intellectual property restrictions. This allows users to create software content through incremental individual effort or through collaboration." It is this very concept of an open source, a source of information and its design that is open and accessible for use and more importantly concerted cooperative revision, that in the advent of new technology drives innovation to its fullest potential.

Within artistic practice there is a similar open-source ideal that spurs interactivity, dialogue, collaboration, and other shared forms of cooperative experience. In many ways it is a trans-evolutionary activity, the conversations that take place through artists inspiring each other, or inspiring non-artists (curators, viewers, collectors).

This year at Tweak the exhibiton explores the appropriation of artefacts into new digital artworks. Five artists will be selected to exhibit in Limerick between September 18 - 24 2010.

To submit to this years Tweak exhibition send an email titled exhibition 2010 to the curator: bonjour at tweak dot ie with a link to your work.

Closing date for submission: July 31st
