APNA OPUS: A Local/Global Device for Shared Creative Practices
APNA OPUS ('Our Own' OPUS) is a tool designed to facilitate collaborative creation and peer to peer sharing of media data for communities gathered together on a local or enclosed network, as well as on the internet. APNA OPUS works for any context where people want to collaborate on creative media projects, be they local - in one class room or media lab, in a cluster of class rooms or media labs, or global - all over the internet.
Any group of users on computers that use a local area network can begin to use APNA OPUS to create their own peer to peer network, share and exchange files, as well as create collaborative media works. This makes the sharing and collaborative creation of cultural material possible even when there is no access to the internet, or when the scarcity of bandwidth or low-speed web connectivity make high volume file sharing and transfer a difficult or near impossible task.
