New scientific insights often implies philosophical and existential problems and questions. Artistic and scientific research are continuously part of challenging and changing our perspectives. The artist as a directly and an indirectly conveyor and interpreter of new knowledge and research, plays an important role for society’s ability to have a proper insight and an adequate discourse regarding the use of new technologies and knowledge. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ OUTRO STREAM: FREE AS IN ART! ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Piksel is an international event for artists and developers working with Free/Libre and Open Source technologies in artistic practice.
