Piksel[X] — Kernel Panic! The 10th annual Piksel Festival for Art and Free Technologies. - Exhibitions – workshops – live art – presentations - November 22-25, Bergen (NO) - http://piksel.no/p12
The Piksel festival is 10 years and we are celebrating with a series of events through the year culminating in the PIKSEL[X] festival in November. The festival subtitle ‘Kernel Panic!’ is connecting to the Piksel festivals origin of Linux based development, and describes what happens when the operating system is overloaded and goes to a full halt to protect itself from further damage. This can serve as a metaphor for the situation today when our common operating system is more and more getting close to a full breakdown. The economy crisis, global warming, social turmoil and wars are accelerating into a global state of emergency which is a serious threat to the infrastructure that holds our civilization together. The resulting state of operation is chaotic and unpredictable. PIKSEL[X] presents a wide variety of expressions that represent various strategies for how young artists of today experience and relate to the changing times. ----------------------------------------------------------- Programme: EXHIBITIONS @ Galleri 3,14, KNIPSU & Østre/Lydgalleriet http://www.piksel.no/p12/xinstallations http://www.piksel.no/p12/xpikselsavers Malte Steiner, La Societe Anonyme, Amanda Steggell, Oscar Martin Correa, Daniel Palacios Jimenez, DamnLab, Peter Flemming, Louise Harris, Jordi Planas, Bruno González, Jeff Thompson, Alexander Senko PERFORMANCES @ Østre http://www.piksel.no/p12/xperformances Afroditi Psarra, Ryan Jordan, Jonathan Kemp, John Bowers, Louise Harris, Restlichtverstärker, Noish, Harald Fetveit, Agnes Hvizdalek RJ Fischer, Séamus O´Donnell, Constanza PIÑA, Isabel CROXATTO, Mark Cetilia, Kasia Justka, Tonylight, Otolab, Audio Blast Festival PRESENTATIONS @ Østre http://www.piksel.no/p12/xpresentations Piksels and Lines Orchestra, Leploop, Drawing Circuits - Platform for hand-drawn circuit boards, Weise7 - The in/compatible laboratorium WORKSHOPS @ Tapetmessen, BEK, Bergen Public Library http://www.piksel.no/p12/xworkshops Arduino workshop for young people, Experimental Electromagnetism, LITE2SOUND, Transmission + Interference, Design of open source hardware running Linux using open source tools, Blender 3D modelling and animation, Experimental Communication -- more info and complete festival program: http://piksel.no/p12 -- Piksel[X] is supported by Arts Council Norway, Bergen Municipality, Hordaland County, EU Culture Programme and Austrian Embassy Oslo PIKSEL :: FREE AS IN ART! -------------------------------------------------- Piksel is an international event for artists and developers working with free and open technologies in artistic practice.
