Pikslaverk / Reykjavik - Call for Participants

juhuu — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 08:29:16 +0000

November 6 - 9, 2008. Reykjavik, Iceland

The Pikslaverk 2008 conference is the Icelandic component in the international network of Pixelache conferences. It is organized by Lorna (the Icelandic organization for electronic arts) in collaboration with The Icelandic Academy of the Arts and The Reykjavik Municipal Art Galleries. Through a series of lectures, presentations and performances, this year’s conference will continue Helsinki’s theme on education and act as a precursor to Bergen’s them on Free, Libre and Open Source Software by focussing on artists’ use of computer programming code to create works of art. Invited and selected guests will present a variety of views regarding issues relating to artistic applications of computer programming code. Amongst the questions that will be explored are:

* Can we view computer programming code as a distinct artistic medium and if so, what are the conceptual and aesthetic implications?

* Does it matter whether or not artists do their own programming or hire professional programmers to do it?

* Can the “open-sourcing” of artistic code aid in the long-term preservation of this type of artwork?

**Piksel08: code dreams
december 4-7 2008
Bergen, Norway

How does code dream? What are the dreams of code?

Piksel08 examines the other side of code, an alternative side to a hard-coded reality of work and play. Open hardware and free software project a utopic vision, yet exist within economies of capital, the dream factory of mainstream technology. Within the chance meeting of sewing machine and umbrella on the dissecting table, hardware and software are flattened.

Piksel08: code dreams explores the dreams of this soft machine; bachelors coding for pleasure, reverse engineering paranoiac constructs of the real, automatic coding practice, soft hardware, and everyday magic.

< <<<<<<<>>>>>>>>

**open call:

1. Installations

Projects related to the code dreams theme including but not restricted to: reverse engineering, soft hardware, code poetry, novel instruction sets, invisible exploration, ghosted computation…

programmed by and running on free and open source software and/or open/DIY hardware.

2. Audiovisual performance

Live art realised by the use of free and open source software. We specially encourage live coding and DIY hardware projects to apply.

3. Software/Hardware

Innovative DIY hardware and audiovisual software tools or software art released under an open licence.

Welcome to an exciting Dorkbot Helsinki on November 2, from 18.00 onwards. This third edition of Dorkbot Helsinki will feature presentations and acts by the Association of Experimental Electronics (FI), Exo (FI) and our special feature Defektro (Japan/Australia).

Dorkbot was first organized in NYC in 2000 as a monthly gathering of artists, scientists and anyone else “doing strange things with electricity”. Later on, other people realized that their home city was in dire need of such a meeting, and dorkbot started to spread to other cities in different parts of the world…

Date & time: 2 November 2007, 18.00-01.00
Place: koko-teatteri / www.kokoteatteri.fi
Ticket: 5 eur

MEGAPOLIS 2022

Nathalie — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 10:24:53 +0000

Pixelache invites you to share a morning coffee in the company of the Parisian artist duo HeHe, who will present their upcoming project ‘Nuage Vert’ (‘Green Cloud’) that is to be seen in the skies of Ruoholahti during February 2008.

Using a language based on light, sound and image, their practice explores the relationship between the individual and their architectural and urban environment. Their propositions are utopian, often posing as products ready for consumption, but are also real, functioning temporarily at the moment of operation.

Also participating in the discussion: Juha Huuskonen & Mathieu Marguerin, organisers of Pixelache electronic art festival in Helsinki & Paris.

The presentation/discussion will be held in English.

Date & time: 13 October 2007, 11.00-12.00
Place: Vanha / www.vanha.fi
Additional info. on HeHe: www.hehe.org

This presentation is a part of Megapolis 2022, an exciting one-day event initiated by the environmental organisation Dodo.
