 Piksel - www.piksel.no - is a yearly event for artists and developers working 
 with Free Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) for realtime processing of 
 video and sound. It will take place at BEK - the Bergen Centre for Electronic 
 Art, in Bergen, Norway from october 30. to  november 7. 2004. 

 The first Piksel event was arranged in november 2003, and gathered around 30 
 artists/developers from all parts of the world. It consisted of 
 artistic/technical presentations, coding workshops and live performances. All 
 activities were documented in a daily blog: http://www.piksel.no/log.html

 One of the results from the event was the initiation of the Piksel Video 
 Framework for 'interoperability between various free software applications 
 dealing with video manipulation techniques' - http://www.piksel.org
