- 25. The Zen of Open Data Open is betterthan closed. Transparent is betterthan opaque. Simple is better than complex. Accessible is better than inaccessible. Sharing is better than hoarding. Linked is more useful than isolated. Fine grained is preferable to aggregated. Optimise for machine readability Barriers prevent worthwhile things from happening. ‘Flawed, but out there’ is a million times better than ‘perfect, but unattainable’. Opening data up to thousands of eyes makes the data better. -- Chris McDowell

- Art project about vacant buildings as a means for creating access to the city Open to the Public™ is an art project and platform that maps all the vacant and underused buildings in Preston City Centre, and aims to challenge the way that we look at the city. Empty spaces provide an opportunity to talk about ideas for the city, as well as to open up places for communities to shape. The concern of Open to the Public is to strengthen the role of the citizen in shaping their city, by reflecting upon ways to gain access to space and asking why it is often denied. In particular, we want to focus on squatting as a political strategy for interfering with urban planning and a tactic for building a new “urban commons”. Open to the Public offers an open platform to discuss the future of Preston. Open to the Public is an art project set up by Katja van Driel and Wouter Osterholt, and commissioned by In Certain Places.
