piksel 2008: open call real and abstract code

real code call



real.co.[de][re] acti­vely explo­res code which both has strong effects

on the real, cons­truc­ting the world through control, predic­tion and

descrip­tion, and the code of the real, how the world as given is

coded.



In a time of open hide-ware, of temp­ting Gnos­tic depths promo­ted by

laye­red APIs and network models, real.co.[de][re] attempts to erase or

rather flat­ten the distinc­tion between soft­ware and hard­ware, to

resolve a new poli­ti­cal refe­rence for real core code. real.co.[de]

[re] asks a gene­ral ques­tion of a code nature beyond the pres­cri­bed

API (hard).



The twelve hour real.co.[de][re] session will attempt the active

cons­truc­tion of a working code model (of any form) which addres­ses

these concerns.



Hacked genres are not limi­ted to the follo­wing sugges­ti­ons: life

coding, para­no­iac prac­tice, porno­grap­hic coding, data foren­sics,

stega­no­grap­hic psycho­ge­o­graphy, biolo­gic hacking, EM scrying and

…



Please submit a propo­sal in any form: dream diary, API

descrip­tion, instruc­tion set, film script, event code, scien­ti­fic

abstract… before Septem­ber 30th 2008 to real1010 [ punto ] co [ punto ] uk (real[at]1010[dot]co[dot]uk)

abstract code call



Abstract code is soft­ware whose results can be invi­si­ble, a soft­ware

imple­men­ting diffe­rent layers of action at the same time.

Abstract code is a connec­tion to para­llel worlds, a poetic formula dealing

with outer forces. Code is art, its action is subtile, effec­tive, magic.
