Piksels & Lines Unconference
Based on calls and workshop offers presented after the three workshop sessions Wednesday, we invite the participants to fill in a grid/schedule of sessions – providing the name and duration of workshop, as well as the duration.

The unconference concept is based on the participants providing the content the workshop session – inviting attendees to collaborate to learn and grow in their specific areas of interest.

Workshop Session Friday 8. June

Commission workshops
The LGRU project includes a series of five research commissions that allow artists and software developers to work together at the same level, imagining and building future graphic and performative tools. As one of the project partners, Piksel, will be commissioning one such research project, and we wish to identify important and engaging commission proposal within the context of LGRU activities. As a result, the last day of the Piksels & Lines Laboratorium is dedicated to identifying fruitful commission areas based on the work from the previous days. There will be a particular focus on performative potential of software, and the proposal presentations should argue necessity and requirements of such a commission.

Both the Piksels & Lines Seminar and Laboratorium sessions are open to the public and free to attend. However, for the workshop sessions participants need to sign up due to limited places. See the full research meeting program, the confirmed participant list, as well as getting relevant practical information.

The program and meeting schedule are also available as PDF’s.

The LGRU project is funded with support from the European Commission, and Bergen Kommune

PIKSEL10 - (Un)stable - 18-21 Nov. 2010, Bergen (NO)


Dates:
Thu Nov 18, 2010 00:00 - Sun Nov 14, 2010

Location:

PIKSEL10 :: (Un)stable
image

The 8th annual Piksel festival for Electronic Art and Technological Freedom
- exhibitions - workshops - live art - presentations
- November 18-21, Bergen (NO)
- http://piksel.no/p10

The 8th edition of Piksel celebrates the unstable as a source of creativity,
revolt and development. At the edge of a new decennium, 100 years after
futurism and dada permanently changed the artworld, we are again at a point in
time where instability grows and anything can happen.
The festival theme, (Un)stable, points to the temporarily placed and unsteady
constructions, mobile spaces, code in constant development, a globally
charged political climate and how these factors are changing the production of
art today.
