Directly from Italy, Art is Open Source and FakePress present the REFF

REFF, a fake cultural institution founded in 2009, is in Londonfor the
first time to launch, promote and distribute its Augmented Reality drug
REFFAR.
To celebrate the event, an exhibition will open from 25 February at
Furtherfield Gallery, showcasing works by artists all featured in the
new REFF book: Garrett Lynch, Rebar Group and Xname. A real-time
interactive map, created for the exhibition, will describe the life of
REFF all over the world: 60 authors, artists, designers, architects,
hackers, journalists, activists; dozens of actions; a live and real-time
stream of information collectively produced by a worldwide community of
re-inventors. The process is open: please contact us if you feel that
your actions are reinventing reality and, thus, should be added to the
visualization.
Visit the gallery, meet the founders of the institution, explore the new
open publishing tool, encounter artworks and performances, enjoy freedom
of access and expression. In other words...take the REFF AR Drug.

*REFF **Youth Programme *
A special task-force was required to ensure the immediate diffusion of
the REFF AR Drug to the younger generations. Perhaps surprisingly the
Fake Institution agenda has inspired approval and enthusiasm in the
academic world. In the two weeks prior to the exhibition FakePress,
together with Art is Open Source, are running a series of workshops and
presentations across universities and to groups of students in and
around London to remix the world:
Southbank University: Friday 11th Feb
Goldsmiths: Tuesday 15th Feb
Writtle College: Monday 21st Feb
University of Westminster: Tuesday 22nd Feb
*Please contact us if you'd like to participate or organize further
workshops/presentations
*MACME, an open source tool for cross-medial publishing*
Created by FakePress, MACME is new a cross-media, multi-author content
management system, that enables the creation of multi-device and paper
publications, featuring location- based technologies, QR-codes, and
augmented reality .
The platform will be released for the first time during the days of the
exhibition, under a GPL3 Licence, as a real policy for access promoted
by the REFF.
