Open everything

Open source describes practices that promote access to the end product’s source materials. Some consider open source a philosophy; others consider it a pragmatic methodology. Fact is, open is spreading. Open source originated from software coding, but many other realms are seen as potentially open. Some claim they can solve urgent social, economic and ethical issues; others are for play and provocation. With so many creative terrains that can and should be open, defining what shouldn’t be open might be more efficient.
