The prints: the images were generated with the open source computer program Inkscape. Each participant made a few prints which were then mixed together, in different layers thus creating different combinations.

SILEX LEX
What if a team of talented artists, illustrators, architects, graphic designers and graffiti writers starts working with Free, Libre and Open Source softwares for the first time?
What if their trials and errors are printed on the Plus-tôt-Te-Laat Rizograph and then handed over a second time in the exhibition place for a make-over?
Results of this serial experiment on show until June 4 at De Pianofabriek in the context of the Libre Graphics Meeting 2010.

Libre graphics printing session
April 11th, 2010The Libre Graphics meeting is taking place this year in Brussels, 27th-30th may 2010.
In view of the event, Harrisson and OSP together with Axel from PTTL and Pianofabrik, are putting together an exhibition “Silex Lex” of risograph printed art works using open source software.
For this first session, a few participants were invited to come and experiment with the graphic programme Inkscape.
Gwenola Carrère, Emilie Seron, Cream, Manuel Falcata, Benoit Platéus, +nurse+, LodoCop, Julien Meert and Martin Meert.
With the assistance of Harrisson, Ludi and Prince Charming, we made some A4 images using inkscape which we then printed out with a black and white desktop printer to then generate films for the Risograph (sort of photocopie machine that can copie different layers of colour onto one sheet).
Axel showed us how to manipulate the machine and we spent a couple of hours mixing and re-mixing our drawings together to obtain some weird and wonderful prints, where digital imagery mingles with the oldstyle woodcut / lino rendering of the Risograph. The prints will then be remixed again by Harrisson’s firts year students of ERG.
Wild! Everyone was so excited that another session will be needed!
