Piksel07 - Festival 15-18/112007 (Noruega)

Piksel07…Hello hack­ab­il­ity

Piksel Fest­ival: Novem­ber 15–18 2007 & Piksel Exhib­i­tion: Nov 16 – Dec 16 2007



Piksel[1] is an inter­na­tional event for artists and developers work­ing with open source audi­ovisual soft­ware, hard­ware & art. Part work­shop, part fest­ival, it is organ­ised in Bergen, Norway, by the Bergen Centre for Elec­tronic Arts (BEK) [2] and involves parti­cipants from more than a dozen coun­tries exchan­ging ideas, coding, present­ing art and soft­ware projects, doing work­shops, perform­ances and discus­sions on the aesthet­ics and polit­ics of FLOSS & art.



This years event – Piksel07 – contin­ues the explor­a­tion of free/libre and open source audi­ovisual code and it’s myriad of expres­sions, and also invest­ig­ates further the open hard­ware theme intro­duced at Piksel06.



The theme of Piksel07 – Hello hack­ab­il­ity! – celeb­rates hack­ab­il­ity as an essensial feature which allows for new artistic possib­il­it­ies in the use of open formats, free soft­ware and DIY hard­ware as creat­ive plat­forms.



Piksel07 is done in collab­or­a­tion with Gallery 3,14[3] which will host this years exhib­i­tion. Piksel is organ­ised by BEK and a community of core parti­cipants includ­ing members of collect­ives dyne.org, goto10.org, ap/xxxxx, hack­i­tec­tura.net, riereta.net, gephex.org and others.
