open source 'n' networks

This is a collaboration with my favorite art partner Stefan Schwarzer. It was painted during the Fokus Festival 2011. I titled the work "open source 'n' networking". It is a message to the Fokus Festival and the whole audience. It is really important to share ideas, developments and at least contacts - without thinking about any profits. Profit is something which generates by it s own. That s what i think .
