This is an hosted sticker.
It is a remix of a
physical sticker
(complete doc here) made in 2013 by
Pierre Huyghebaert in the context of
lgru,
initiated by Femke Snelting.
This version was crafted out of CSS and JS by Doriane in March 2023, 10 years later.
Since its first physical instance, this symbol has been used a lot through
OSP (Open source publishing) research, commissions and pedagogy practices
by its current and previous members.
Starting from the observation that F/loss software
doesn't seem specific enough to imply a transformative power in our practices;
This symbols became an invariant of interest,
to which we continue to unfold its many meanings:
both broader and more specific than F/LOSS culture.
As an hosted object the sticker can be duplicated from
practices.tools and from the other places in which it was sticked.
You can stick it on any webpage yourself by copy pasting this iframe. (it is transparent, and also acts as an hyperlink to its homepage)
<iframe src="https://practices.tools" frameborder="0" width="320" height="320" ></iframe>
In February 2024,
Martin Lemaire made an
analogically animated remix.
In September 2024,
Manetta Berendt,
Simon Browne
& Doriane
intertwined the investigations of the symbol with the
creative crowds.
In October 2024, the sticker was modified to support many fonts.
Font is randomized when display on its own page (not in an iframe).
In November 2024, after an interview of Femke and Pierre by creative crowds,
the sticker was edited to form an open loop similarly to its orginal version, when hovering.
It welcomes other words & worlds, but in the case, requiere activation.

please stick, please appropriate meaning.
