PikseliAHKY // pixelACHE is an international laboratory
for creative experimenting with audiovisual technologies.
After our successful event in Helsinki, the festival is
arriving to New York and Montreal. The events consists
of audiovisual performances, interactive cinema screenings
and an exhibition of media art projects.

Most of the featured artists are coming from Helsinki,
the hometown of pixelACHE. They present the fringe of
the Finnish media art scene, emerging artists and
yet-to-be-discovered art forms.

The events also include like-minded artists from Stockholm,
New York and Montreal. Many of the projects are adventurous
experiments and collaborations, especially put together for
the festival. The theme for this year's edition is the art
of VJ'ing, mixing and manipulating video material in a live
performance situation.

The pixelACHE event in New York is presented by the extraordinary
Gershwin Hotel, with their gallery, performance space and rooftop
dedicated for the event. We will also do a laptop jam session
with SHARE at Openair and the event will finish with an audiovisual
concert at Galapagos in Williamsburg, as a part of the New Music
at North Sixth series.

The Montreal event is the opening of the new premises of Montreal
based Society for Arts and Technology (SAT), a transdisciplinary
centre dedicated to the creation, dissemination and conservation
of digital culture. SAT is non-profit organization founded in 1996
by several organisers of the ISEA95 Montreal symposium. In two weeks
SAT will relocate at its own permanent address on Saint-Laurent Boulevard:
a cafe / documentation center and a multipurpose presentation space
on 1 100 square meters (over 3 000 sqm in total).
