Salvatore Iaconesi is an Italian artist, hacker and interaction designer who has been teaching digital arts and cultures in several universities worldwide. Nothing special, to this extent. But Iaconesi has been recently diagnosed with brain cancer and decided to crack and make his digital medical records downloadable by everyone. “Open Source Cure” is the precise naming Salvatore uses for his project, specially meant for doctors and scientists who could give him medical advice, but also addressed to artists, designers, hackers, photographers, video makers, musicians and writers. “There are cures for the body, for spirit, for communication”, writes Iaconesi. “Anyone can give me a cure”. That’s art therapy too.
