The MINIMUM PRIZE 2005 to Richard Stallman: awarding ceremony on November 17th in Tunis
Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto awarded the Minimum Prize 2005 to Richard Stallman for the GNU/Linux project. The prize has been delivered on 17th November, at Dar Bach Hamba Palace in Tunis by Brazilian Minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil.
The Minimum Prize is dedicated to those who initiate a process of responsible transformation in society.
Minimum like the relationship between individuals that, through the interaction of different singularities, produces great turning points in human civilisation.
Minimum like the embryo, the generating principle of a new society, the key to an evolutionary stage in which creativity and human science find ways to coexist with the intelligence of nature.
Now in its fifth year (in 2004 the prize was awarded to the book Talking with the enemy by Jamil Hilal and Ilan Pappe), the 2005 Minimum Prize goes to Richard Stallman, inventor of the GNU Operating System, for having created the world free software movement and, through this, for having initiated the development of new source codes of freedom in human society.
The Minimum Prize award ceremony is one of the activities organised at Dar Bach Hamba Palace in Tunis within "the third paradise - art and free knowledge", Michelangelo Pistoletto’s and Cittadellarte’s exhibition, curated by Achille Bonito Oliva and Cittadellarte.
