This event is the first open and public recording session in the form of
a consultancy for a research+reflection project on the long parallel
histories -20 years- of Wikimedia, Creative Commons, and Pixelache
Helsinki Festival as a transdisciplinary platform. It is hosted by a
network of Pixelache members and Wikimedians for Vorspiel.Berlin guests.
At times the ambitions of Open Cultures, Codes and Knowledge, with
Wikimedia and the culture of Sharing and Remix have overlapped with
media arts festivals like Pixelache, which has promoted open culture,
and Wiki methodologies in its early years. However, since then there has
been much pragmatism as (not)social (but)algorithmic media and online
platforms have abducted, obfuscated, and taken over media festivals in
the past decades, in the way that knowledge has accumulated and been shared.
How do we reconcile and learn from tensions, each others' movements and
hybrid practices?
This first gathering is an open mic session, inviting open culture and
digital arts professionals and enthusiasts to join us in a semi
structured conversation for cca 60 minutes.
Participating in discussion:
Florence Devouard (User:Anthere)
Željko Blaće (User:Zblace)
Rebecca O'Neill (User:Smirkybec)

Welcome!
Pixelache Wikimedians-in-residence: This project will prototype the
combination podcast production, research and reflection residency which
focuses on Wikimedia and cultural organisational practices, including
archiving.
It will discuss and reflect upon the long parallel history -20 years- of
Pixelache Helsinki Festival and transdisciplinary platform, which has
promoted open culture, and Wikimedia methodologies. Where have these
overlapped, gone hand-in-hand and then diverged. We wish to reconcile in
ambitions with both the Wikimedia and Creative Commons anniversaries.
OpenMICwithPixelACHE - research consultation on open archiving practices
is part of the Pixelache Helsinki 20th anniversary programme. As part of
the festivities and deeper interrogations into Pixelache Helsinki's
20-year history, we plan to produce 3 discursive podcasts this year, to
be presented at the end of 2022.
The event is brought to you in partnership with Vorspiel Berlin / CTM &
Transmediale festivals with the support of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Vorspiel 2022: transmediale and CTM's Vorspiel is a program of
distributed partner events in the field of digital art and culture and
experimental sound and music, where a variety of partner venues invite
local and international audiences to a series of exhibition openings,
performances, interventions, artist talks and special events across the
city of Berlin.
The Vorspiel program was established in 2011, then called DAS Weekend.
In each of the past ten editions, over 60 project spaces, galleries and
independent cultural actors have curated and organized a rich program of
exhibitions, workshops and performances. Vorspiel is meant to be a
program for the city of Berlin, connecting different genres and
practices for creating opportunities of common exchange and reflection
and for bringing together communities and individuals which are dealing
with art, technology, politics and identity in a critical way, while
also seeking to strengthen the dialog with the two festivals. To create
this link, the Vorspiel program will take place before both festivals
this year starting from 21 January 2022.
