PIKSEL11 -- re:public

The 9th annual Piksel Festival for Electronic Art and Technological Freedom.

Exhibitions – workshops – liveart – presentations - urban interventions -- November 17th-20th, Bergen (NO)

  • Piksel11 & Pixelache Software of the Year 2012

    din

     

    We are pleased to announce that the Pixelache Software of the Year 2012 title is this time given to din – din is noise and will be featured at Piksel through a workshop, presentation and concert.

    din is a Free software musical instrument exclusively for the  GNU/Linux operating system made by the Indian programmer S. Jagannathan. din – din is noise presents an innovative way of generating live music from a  simple visual interface based on Bezier curves, and is a good example of how creative and DIY technologies can foster new approaches and solutions that escapes the leading rules of the software industry.

    It forgets history,
    To not repeat it.

    It doesnt hide analog music hardware,
    In digital music software.

    You had pulse, sine, triangle and sawtooth,
    And went forth and made electronic music.

    Now there is just the Bezier curve.

    Pixelache Software of the Year is an initiative by Pixelache Network, started in 2008. The chosen software for the first year was Animata, a live animation software by Kitchen Budapest. In 2010 it was divided by the live CD distributions pure:dyne between GOTO10 and APODIO by APO33.

  • PROXY by Andy Gracie | Artist Talk

    Time: 12. september · 19:00 – 21:00
    Place: Atelier Nord Project Room, Wergelandsvn 17. N-0167 Oslo

    The artist Andy Gracie visits Norway during the period 6 – 13th September to work on the PROXY project. During his stay he will visit Sørøya in Finnmark where he will collect samples and record film for the installation of PROXY at Piksel11 in November.


    The installation PROXY features a pair of almost identical robotic devices (named ‘Essence’ and ‘Possibility’) which have been designed to carry out the basic tasks involved in hunting for tardigrades and nematodes in samples of moss, lichen and earth taken from their natural habitat. These are two of the most important organisms in current space flight and astrobiological research, their reactions to the space environment telling us much about the general reaction of living organisms to such extreme conditions.

    Essence and Possibility owe much of their aesthetic and their contextual purpose to the twin Mars rovers ‘Spirit’ and ‘Opportunity’ which have been roaming and experimenting upon the surface of the red planet since January 2004.

    In PROXY we see a reversal in the normal relationships and assumed roles between humans and robots. Where normally we send robots to dangerous, inaccessible or inhospitable places, here it is the artist that has undertaken excursions to mountainous regions for the purpose of collecting samples, which the robots, ‘safe’ and ‘sound’ in the gallery space, will investigate.

    On board the robots carry all the necessary vessels, tubes, valves and motors to allow examinations of the samples available to them. There is a suggestion that while the robots are busy carrying out the tasks of examining their samples, there is also a part of their attention aimed towards a large video projection of the sample collection process, which is projected onto the wall near them. There is also the suggestion that they have an awareness of the actions and efforts of their human accomplice.

    Mal au Pixel festival consists of exhibitions, workshops, public
    meetings and concert series.

    For its sixth edition, Mal au Pixel program weaves open
    dialogs on digital creation, through different public meetings : WJ-SPOT, Altlabs and Artisans Électroniques (Digital
    Craftmen).  We gather together many role-player on the independant digital
    art scene, may it be immaterial through shared Internet experiences, or
    physical with the open-source solutions as cultivated in many independant labs.

    We will further explore bio and social issues, by hosting
    the House Of Natural
    Fiber
    (Indonesia) in a residency, for the Intelligent Bacteria
    project, applying open source to microbiology and alcohol distillation.

    With the exhibition and meeting series Utopies Monétaires Internationales (International
    Monetary Utopias), we will unveil several researches on alternative currencies,
    from artistic experiences to actual prototypes.

    DRIFT, another
    main spot of the festival, invites four creative « turntablists » for
    crossed performances : eRikm, Arnaud Rivière, Martin Tétreault, DJ
    Sniff.  The performance will be carved onto an experimental
    record, being capable of random play.

    In the Transmissions
    performances event, the artists play with different radio wavelenghts and
    signals. The DIY Music
    concert will showcase inventor of electronic instruments, such as Casper
    Electronics. And with I-R-L event,
    the latest audivisual experiences are put to the test.

    And this new edition will offer the opportunity to meet up
    with the different Pixelache nodes and to figure out an event in 2012… to
    celebrate the network’s 10 years.

    See you there !

  • Pure Data workshop @ Piksel10

    Some photo documentation from the Pure Data workshop held in Bergen during the Piksel10 festival. The workshop was held by Servando Barreiro and Arnfinn Killingtveit and was hosted by Piksel and TRAFO in collaboration. The audio is from the jam the last day of the workshop.

    During the workshop, the students constructed simple software instruments and effects in pure data from scratch, were shown how to hack existing patches, learned about crude frequency analysis, explored the possibilities of video manipulation in pure data with GEM, made their own DIY reactable (without the projection), and learned about FM and AM synthesis, among other things.
