Background: In the period 3.-9. november 2003, BEK is hosting the symposium "piksel" with focus on work with live video on the GNU/Linux platform. The background for the conference is the software "MøB" developed at BEK by Gisle Frøysland and Carlo Pretz. There is a large interest around the symposium which will gather worldleading artists and developers from within the field.

As a part of the symposium, we will present live, GNU/Linuxbased videoart and performance on a high level every night during the week of the symposium; The p1k53l evening events
