Abstract


This paper deals with how an emergent community like hacker´s has developed a code of aestehtic and ethical values in different levels. The history of hackerism is a previous step to understand in a very basic way how code writing has forked in two different paths: free software and open code. Aesthetics can be a way to correlate creative work made by hackers and how avant-garde movements considered their work. From an ethical point of view it is difficult to find an unified agenda for all the different groups involved with free and open software. But this movement represents the emergence of a new ethical approach, retaking older attitudes like the commons.
