Part of the larger FirstWorksProv festival, PIXILERATIONS [v.4] investigates the state of New Media arts through installation, interactive concert performance and film/video screenings. Pixilerations [v.4] - the fourth annual showcase of New Media arts - invites artists, musicians and film/video makers to submit work that investigates connections or disparities between story and ornament.

Stories must not be confused with just plain facts. Rather, facts draw whatever power they have from the stories they tell and their manner of telling. There is always something added to facts to make stories. One way to think about this something added is as ornament: a poetic metaphor, a musical riff, or a visual flourish can all serve to deepen and broaden the stories that support them.
