Dyne.org free software foundry Dyne.org

Free to share code.

Code to share freedom.

Dyne.org is a digital community and free software foundry. We share tools, practices and narratives that empower artists, creatives and citizens in the digital age.

Who we are
A think &do tank of passionate individuals, innovative projects, and dedicated organisations. We safeguard and promote civil rights, decentralisation, free and open-source software, and the environment. We are a connected ecosystem that unites people, communities, and technology, dismantling barriers and fostering collaboration across borders and tech platforms.
  • Diversity

  • We love to mix: methods, disciplines, knowledge, culture and languages. We love our Bastard Culture!

  • Open-source

  • Code is our literature: we build software to communicate, interact and inspire. Dyne.org is where art, science and technology meet open source.

  • Ecology

  • We recycle old technology rather than create needs for new one: this is our way to respect the environment and optimize resources.

Our heritage

A large amount of people and organisations in all fields employed and redistributed our creations. Our software gives everybody the right to use, study, share and improve its code, supporting fundamental freedoms.

Wherever you are on this tilted planet, a new season is turningβ€”and with it, a quiet call to return to the glow of the screen. It’s time to gather the ideas scattered by sun or snow and shape them in the soft light of our hacker dens. The world outside is changing its rhythm, inviting us to code, to compose, to build.

But what happens when the very idea of a "fact" becomes contested territory, a battleground not of information, but of identity and belief? This essay argues that our deepest crises are not of knowledge, but of meaningβ€”and that a spreadsheet has never cured a soul-sickness. We are not rational actors in a debate club; we are storytelling creatures, armed with confirmation biases and tribal allegiances. To navigate this disorienting age, we must understand why a compelling narrative will always outperform a pristine statistic, and what we can possibly do about it.
