During this workshop we will explore DIY biology, chemistry and sound. We will take field trips out to the fjords surrounding Bergen to collect data. DIY BIOLAB | 19 -21 NOV | 14:00 17:00 | DIY BioLab | BIKS Håndtverkssalen http://15.piksel.no/diy-biolab-how-to-mix-molecular-biology-and-electronics- as-new-performances/ DIY BioLab: How to mix molecular biology and electronics as new performances. During the workshop we will understand the basics of molecular and synthetic biology, construct a full-featured kitchen based DIY BIO laboratory, perform experiments with electronics. R LANGUAGE | Thursday 19 NOV | 14:00 17:00 | S12 Galleri http://15.piksel.no/r-language-a-powerful-tool-for-environmental-data-analys is-cristian-mong/ R language, a powerful tool for environmental data analysis. R statistical environment language can be applied to biological data analysis. How to use R for performing statistical analysis relevant for molecular biologists. How to perform simple sequence analysis with R. An essential overview of biological network analysis and the highly popular enrichment analysis of gene lists. BIO VORTEX | Saturday 21 NOV | 14:00 17:00 | ØSTRE Bar http://15.piksel.no/bio-vortex-bio-illuminating-the-vortex-3/ The idea is to develop a hybrid musical instrument, part living part electromechanical; it works with the natural metabolism of bioluminescent algae as a technical system interfaced with open source / DIY lab equipment and light detecting and sound generating electronics. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| PIKSEL KIDZ WORKSHOPS Piksel Kidz Lab wants to bring new media art practices to kids and youngsters with three workshops to enjoy the city. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| CITY SUN! | Sunday 22 NOV | 12:00 16:00 | Ungdomshuset 1880 http://15.piksel.no/city-sun/ You will produce robotic sculptures that move by converting solar energy into kinetic energy. Become familiar with how solar power works, and create art using renewable energy! CITY WATER! | 19 -22 NOV | Thur 18:00-21:00 & Sat 11:00-17:00 | S12 Galleri http://15.piksel.no/city-water/ City-Water is an engagement project to visualize water data from the city in physical and digital environments. Young people produce their own arduino based water sensors, and gather water data from the city. CITY GO! | 19 -22 NOV | Thur/Fri 18:00-21:00 & Sat 11:00-17:00 | S12 Galleri http://15.piksel.no/city-go-notours/ City-Go! proposes an augmented sound experience of the city of Bergen created by YOU. With the help of a smartphone app visitors can listen to your stories when they walk the city. NoTours is software by Escoitar.org for the Android mobile platform. It uses GPS technology along with the Digital Compass of the phone for allowing you to build interactive site-specific sound-narratives. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| PIKSEL15 WORKSHOPS @ S12, Ostre, and 1880 http://15.piksel.no/category/workshops/ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| FIELDS | Sunday 22 NOV | 11:00 17:00 | ØSTRE Fongaard http://15.piksel.no/fields-2/ Smartphones are now almost ubiquitous; their built-in speakers can be surprisingly loud. Personal mobile devices are slowly becoming a powerful platform for live performance. The Fields system enables musicians and composers to explore the potential of these devices for sound diffusion. It is a distributed, open-source, modular instrument that is fully configurable. We will cover technical aspects such as setting up, configuration and customization of the system with WebPd. BODYNOISE | Friday 20 NOV | 14:00 17:00 | ØSTRE Fongaard http://15.piksel.no/bodynoise-performance/ This workshop is focused on experimental body sound and performance. We propose an electronic circuit that generates sound through contact between our bodies>> bodynoise amp. This device transforms body electrical activity into sound through contact between different bodies. LIVE PROJECTION MAPPING | Thursday 19 NOV | 14:00 17:00 | ØSTRE Fongaard http://15.piksel.no/video-mapping-with-processing-maxime-damecour/ 'alcFreeliner' is a open source projection mapping tool built to improvise animations on anything in the reach of a projector. Please bring a computer with GNUlinux/osx/win and Processing 3.0 installed; a three-button mouse is also recommended. EMBEDDED ART SYSTEMS | Friday 20 NOV | 14:00 17:00 | ØSTRE Bar http://15.piksel.no/embedded-art-system/ This is a free and open source multi visual modular system based on the Raspberry Pi. The platform gives the possibility to combine many independent devices to create a more powerful system than most single computers can provide. BERGEN INVOCATION | Friday 20 NOV | 11:00 17:00 | ØSTRE Lobby http://15.piksel.no/bergen-invocation-a-sonic-reworking/ In collaboration with workshop attendees we will make recordings and conduct rituals in sites selected for their geological and historical salience. Inexpensive self-made technologies for environmental sensing, sonification, and parodies of fitness tracking devices will accompany us. Microcontroller-based algorithmic sound file playback devices will be created as part of a sculptural mapping of the body of materials collected. COCICLO| Friday 20 NOV | 14:00 17:00 | Ungdomshuset 1880 KAFÈ http://15.piksel.no/cociclo-workshop-and-installation/ In this performative workshop, the participants will assemble an electronic circuit that translates Carbon Monoxide (CO) concentrations into audible sound. The design consists of an Esp8266 based circuit, a CO sensor and a piezo element that enables the sonification, geolocalization and visualization of collected data on a community map. -- more info and complete festival program: http://15.piksel.no -- Piksel15 is supported by The Norwegian Art Council, Bergen Municipality, Hordaland County, PNEK, BEK, EEA NORWAY Grants. PIKSEL :: FREE AS IN ART! -------------------------------------------------- Piksel is an international event for artists and developers working with free and open technologies in artistic practice. Part workshop, part festival, it is organized in Bergen, Norway, 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 free technologies & art. -------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
