Free Media - Mongrel

he title of the film, Free Media, reflects Mongrel's belief that free access to technology and knowledge is a question of democracy and creativity. To realise this philosophy they collect and recycle technology, computers and open source softwares. They also offer free advice to make it possibe for anyone, from any background, to work with a range of digital media forms.

"Free-media is best thought of as a means of doing art, making things or just saying what you want for little or no financial cost by using public domain software and recycled equipment. It is also about saying what you want "freely", using accessible media that can be taken apart and reused without unnecessary restrictions and controls - "free as in free speech". Mongrel.

Mongrel are represented in the collections of Tate Gallery in London, Centre de Pompidou in Paris and ZKM in Karlsruhe.
