FREEZE+PRESS projects are Free Cultural Works and aligned to various concepts of copyleft. You are invited to use, study, change and improve our materials for any purpose including commercial usage as long as you share your enhancements and modifications with the community again. As soon as you publish work based upon one of our projects, you’ll have to provide access to the source files and grant other people the same rights you were granted.
There is also the possibility to commission work. If you would like to realise a project within the field of Free Culture you may hire us for research, development or consultancy.
In the past we realised challenging work
such as the conception and development of a
auto-generated poster edition
based on
modular illustrations
for the
Linux Audio Conference,
free/libre/open source design and print production for
the make art festivals
(What the fork?!
chmod+x art
in‑between design),
a community-driven
generative print identity
for the
Libre Graphics Meeting
,
more than
10 years of collaboration
with
servus.at
for
publications, workshops and
various editions of their
AMRO Festival
and last but not least
homebrew publishing workflows for books like the
conversations interview collection or the
Techno-Galactic Guide to Software Observation
for Constant VZW from Brussels.
All these projects are part of our practice-driven research towards interdependent and sustainable digital environments built upon non-proprietary software ecosystems.
From time to time we experience difficulties to fully comply with specific license terms, especially in everyday design practise. As a workaround to this problem we decided to offer a buy-out option. For works for which we own the complete copyrights or where it’s possible to negotiate with the respective authors you may pay a license fee instead of sharing your work with the community. The amount charged depends on your use case scenario and will be accordingly calculated. For requests please get in contact.
