Statement
The development, and therefore use, of digital technology today is mainly controlled by multinational corporations. Despite the prospects of technology expanding the means of artistic expression, the commercial demands of the software industries severely limit them instead. Piksel is focusing on the open source movement as a strategy for regaining artistic control of the technology, but also a means to bring attention to the close connections between art, politics, technology and economy.
With the emergence of internet and the democratisation of computers, the public are increasingly confronted with hybrid software and hardware, made by qualified artists using different titles: Artist programmer, software artist, digital artist or new media artist. These artists create their digital tools either by making them themselves or in close collaboration with programmers.
Piksel argues that the artists in all disciplines should have control over their own production. Therefore tools like open source software and open hardware is considered as the best practice. Internationally Piksel might be the most important forum for participants in this field, which more and more appear as a expanding movement with increased attention directed towards it.
Although coming from different economical and social backgrounds, Northern and Southern countries share a common interest in free culture: free and open source and technologies.
As curators and artists we aim to share our areas of interests: Do It Yourself (DIY) technologies, historical traditions of craftsmanship, environmental sciences, ancient biodiversity knowledge, synthetic molecular biotechnologies, understanding of plants, seeds and biochemistry traditions. All together intertwined with art practices.
Exhibition
PikselSavers, Several artists.
PikselSavers – screensavers that makes a difference!
PikselSavers is a screening programme of short movies and software art curated by the Piksel festival in Bergen. The programme is going to be selected among the contributions from artists working in a wide range of digital media and techniques at Piksel festivals.
PikselSavers take the screensaver as a point of departure and inspirational springboard. They are videos and software art based on the screensaver format – short audiovisual (non)narratives made for endless looping.
From "ppg256" | From Concrete Perl, Nick Montfort
Beginning in 2007, I wrote a series of seven very short Perl programs to generate poems. Each program in the ppg256 series consists of exactly 256 characters of code. The programs use no data sources except for strings in the code itself, no other programs or special libraries are invoked.
For What It's Worth, Pall Thayer
Contemporary art is driven by its success in a consumer-based society. In other words, it’s worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. The complexity and intricacy of the work grows with every Bitcoin contribution.
Google Badwords, Wayne Clements
Google searches have a built-in autocomplete facility. If you enter a word, Google will offer search suggestions to save you time typing. Some words Google will not auto-complete. There is a list of these, compiled originally by Jamie Dubs. He published them here:http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2013/08/words_banned_from_bing_and_google_s_autocomplete_algorithms.html. It has been suggested that Google practises a form of censorship (http://fffff.at/googles-official-list-of-bad-words/) because of its list of proscribed autocomplete words. Google Badwords takes this word list and offers an alternative autocomplete service — it offers only autocomplete suggestions from Google’s banned word list. The result is almost always of a sexual nature. Google Badwords defies Google’s auto-censorship.” (source: http://www.in-vacua.com/googlebadwords/googlebadwords-info.html)
SnowStorm, Mark Beasley
SnowStorm takes a keyword ?=<keyword> and searches twitter for live results, adding a snowflake for every tweet as it is used. Density depends on the frequency of the word and its current usage on twitter.
Mark Beasley is an active member of the chicago arts + new media community. Mark makes software, video, performance, and web art and has participated in exhibitions with organizations like Rhizome.org, Gallery-2 and Links Hall. He is a member of H3X3N, the computer witchcraft club that produces the IX series which has been exhibited internationally. Mark has also lead workshops in python, hardware hacking, micro-controllers, and html/javascript. He is currently a teaching assistant at Marwen, an arts middle/high school for under-served youth and a full-time web developer along with other freelance projects.
54 Dinamic Body Background, Osvaldo Cibils
54 DINAMIC BODY BACKGROUND is an online animation work, developed in java script, and based on animated GIFs and sound. Developed between 2006 and 2010.
Osvaldo Cibils is visual and sound artist, born 1961, in Montevideo, Uruguay. He now lives and work in Rovereto, Italy. http://osvaldocibils.com http://osvaldocibils.com/54/54.html
Video Program
Up and away, Alexander Senko
The visuals consists of the background and figures. Figures are created by and interact with the background – architectural forms of the new building of the Bauhaus University Library (Weimar, Germany). The Fourier resynthesis allows every moving object to create its own frequency band. The work is made in real-time programming environment Pure Data and can be shown either as a video film or as a real-time performance.
The sound of bureaucrocy, Delia Cristina Gheorghiu
If bureaucracy had a voice how would it sound? How does an invoice sound? What about a fragment from an emergency ordinance?The starting point of the work is the difficulty encountered by Romanians who wanted to implement various projects in various areas using money from Norway Grants. The difficulties they encountered were mainly due to the heavily bureaucratic system in Romania. The work reflects something deeper, continuous, seemingly impossible to change – heavy bureaucracy.Using the Ruby programming language an application was created. Through this application each word in the selected texts is randomly associated two sounds (one for vocals and one for consonants in the word). Once attached to a word the sound is repeated through a document every time that particular word appears. The texts are fragments from the codes used to identify a public purchase, a fragment from an emergency ordinance on public purchase, two forms, an invoice and a receipt. The words in these documents are attached only low-frequency sounds of 80 instruments which were selected from a media library.Played in loop these sounds are meant to render the quantity of ”bureaucratic noise” that each of us in Romania and possibly anywhere in the world are supposed to put up with every day.Work by: Delia-Cristina Gheorghiu Programmer: Eugen Minciu
Music Obfuscator, Benjamin Grosser
At the behest of corporate copyright holders, media sharing sites like YouTube and Vimeo have implemented listening algorithms designed to identify uploaded music. These “Content ID” systems are designed to presume all use is illegal use; every match is automatically flagged, muted, and/or removed. Music Obfuscator enables users to hide music from Content ID. Each audio track submitted to the Obfuscator will be altered using a variety of signal processing techniques.
Do Americans Dream of Being Electric Sheep?, Gabin Cortez Chance
A multi layered, and distorted Video dissecting and critiquing the United States NSA spying programs. Using an overload of visual information similar to the NSA meta data collection practices to tell a abstract narrative of a Orwellian magnitude. With the idea that some Science Fiction writers (Phillip K. Dick…etc) might have not been so far off in their predictions of the future. And how in a digital world, everything(including nature) is now mediated to us, and is vulnerable to digital distortion, and corrupted files. And that maybe these distorted, and damaged images can have a new life in a different context. And under a different light can enter the world of the Hyper-real. A world of Simulacrum.
Gabin Cortez, my Art must have some kind of Political, and Philosophical(usually one and the same) direction. It must be about the now, looking through the lens of the past, progressing to the future. For me the Digital is my Magic wand of the Hyper-Real, and my Simulacrum of Geist. How could this be for sale. It is a Gift assembled from the best parts of other Gifts. From a long line of Artists,Thinkers, Witch Doctors, and Prophets going all the way back to those afore mentioned Caves. And probably even before that.

Cociclo, Alexander Castonguay (Canadá)
Cocíclo proposes a participative experience that occurs in the streets of the MX. It enables a reflection on the collection and visualization of data. It consists in an electronic circuit that responds to the concentrations of pollutants in the air of our cities. In its wearable form, it emits audible beeps that augment in frequency following the increase in carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations, a bit like a Geiger-counter. The participants build a visualization of geolocalized-data collectively through the experiences of ‘audio augmented dérives’.

Climate 1850 – 2016, Alexandre Castonguay (Canada)
Porcelain visualisations of data from the average global temperatures from 1850 - 2017. The images are of the moulds in which I make strange unuseful porcelain objects that refer to household objects, like plates or light fixtures.

Máquinas mestizas, Jorge Barco
En varias cosmogonías, el Universo fue creado de un material acústico; cuentan que el mundo había sido creado por un sonido inicial que emergió del abismo, se hizo luz y gradualmente parte de esta luz se hizo materia. Pero esta materialización nunca fue completa, pues cada cosa continuaba conservando algo de sustancia sonora de la cual fue creada. Para este Performance Sonoro el artista ha construido un aparato que busca crear experiencias físicas inmersivas a través del sonido. Una maraña de sintetizadores y componentes electroacústicos que nos invita a pensar en la interacción humana con las máquinas, los universos físicos y espirituales a través del sonido.
Duración: 40 min

El glaciar Jökulsárlón, performance visual, by Maite Cajaraville
Inspirándome en las palabras de Constanza, pensé en el glaciar de Islandia, una masa de hielo que alberga flujos de agua interior, todo está conectado, como los corazones de Robota. Agua que circula, deriva y abre nuevas rutas. En 2011, entra en erupción el volcán Grimsvötn y su cenizas se esparcen sobre el glaciar Jökulsárlón. Se produce entonces una aberración sobre el color del glaciar, lo blanco se matiza con el negro provocando texturas y formas, ruido y arritmia visual. Las partículas de hielo se convierten en diamantes brillantes. La performance se realiza con el software libre LIVES desarrollado por Salsaman.
Workshops
Live Coding With TidalCycles Alexandra Cárdenas
This workshop will allow the participants to gain the basic knowledge to make use of the software TidalCycles to create patterns of sound for a live coded performance. To know more about the software and start the installation process (recommended before the workshop) please go to: http://tidalcycles.org/ Participants are not expected to have prior knowledge of programming or music.
The workshop will consist of: 1. Software installation 2. What is live coding? examples, videos 3. What is TidalCycles? 4. Live coding with TidalCycles 5. Communal performance
After the installation process, TidalCycles allows very quick results but also allows space and ideas for deep questions about music and pattern of sound. Get ready to discover a new way to compose and produce music through live coding. Amount of assistants: 10 to 20 or more... no limit Requisites: Own laptop and headphones. Laptops can have Macintosh, Window and Linux platforms. Duration of the workshop: 3 to 4 hours

Improvisational luthiering AKA modifying and building instruments with simple means AKA The means of production are still in the hands of the creative artist and don´t let anyone tell you otherwise!
Duration - depends on the local conditions, how long we are there and how much time the participants want to put into it. A general good length for a work session is frm 2 - 4 hours I guess. I am open for anything.
Description - Modify your instrument (electric guitar or any acoustic instrument that can be made electroacoustic)
Target audience: - any adventurous and open person who is focused on practice and possibilities of stretching the rules within and limits of the tradition of their practice.
Technologies - contact mikes, guitar pickups, cables, amplification..
Number of participants - ideally around 10, this also depends on how much time we have and how many want to participate. If more people want to participate I don´t mind adjusting the workshop for that.
Technical riders
need electricity, soldering iron, screwdrivers, clippers, some sort of amplification, any sort of amplification and we take it from there. The bigger and more powerful amplification/guitaramp/PA - the more fun! This is a personal preference, quiet is more challenging and also much fun.
Anything participants need to bring to the workshop?
One cheap/crappy/broken electric guitar they are not afraid to modify. It is also possible to modify more "fine" instruments/guitars but my main focus will be in the cheap end of the scale and the possibilities there. Participants may also bring other acoustic instruments/objects for modification.

Agit P.O.V (Petit Objet de Vélo), Alexandre Castonguay (CA)
Agit P.O.V (Petit Objet de Vélo) is a microhack for bicycles relying on the persistence of vision (POV) effect, the propaganda tactics of the russian avant-garde (AGIT Prop) and the SpokePOV Project by Limor Fried (LadyAda).
A modest 12 LED circuit, a microcontroller, codes, a battery mounted on your bicycle wheel and the speed of the cyclist suffice to illuminate the streets with your poetical-political message. AGIT P.O.V. invites participants to a workshop and textual performance in the streets of our cities. Our bicycles are vehicles that can carry our poetic and creative voices and agitate the city.
POV (Persistance of Vision) is a phenomenon based on the residual presence of an image on the eye for 1/25th of a second. The myth of persistente of vision posits that the human perception of motion is the result of persistence of vision. In this way, the drawings of the zootrope, the photographic experiments of Muybridge on the successive instants of a horse’s gallop produce the impression of the continuity of movement.
Within the development of this activity, kids are aiming to use the bike and to expand their critical thinking about the air pollution and the need to care about the natural environment of cities.
Din is noise Juan Jaramillo Noi Sk8 (Colombia)
El taller pretende dar a conocer sin tanto tecnicismos como jugar con los parámetros, funciones y herramientas de Din Is Noise para crear sonido a partir de la imagen.
Din is noise es un software creado hace 10 años por Jagannathan Sampath <http://dinisnoise.org/bio/> . Pensado como un sintetizador inspirado en los sonidos microtonales de la antigua india, contiene una variedad de instrumentos "musicales" que se manipulan por medio de una interfaz gráfica muy amigable y envolvente.
Además vamos a analizar las ventajas que se pueden obtener usando el software por medio de sistemas operativos GNU/Linux. Otro ejercicio a realizar es crear un USB-live con un iso basado en puppy linux que contiene Din predeterminado y booteralo en un pc con windows [por ejemplo]

- EN
In this performative workshop, the participants will assemble an electronic circuit that translates Carbon Monoxide (CO) concentrations into audible sound. The design consists of an Esp8266 based circuit, a CO sensor and a piezo element that enables the sonification, geolocalisation and visualisation of collected data on a community map. The project mixes artistic, environmental and social concerns and adheres to the design principles of open hardware and software: Everyone is invited to learn how the electronics and the code functions in order to be able to modify it.
The workshop occurs over 5 hours in which the operations of the circuit and the code will be explained while assembling the circuit. The instructions will cover the basics of the esp8266 wireless chip, it’s interface with a mobile application for the geolocalisation and the visualisation on a map server.
The group will then ride or walk in order to experience a ‘situationist dérive’ that transforms our understanding of the city and collects a lasting reminder of our paths in Bergen.

Technical riders
Need electricity, soldering iron, screwdrivers, clippers, some sort of amplification, any sort of amplification and we take it from there. The bigger and more powerful amplification/guitaramp/PA - the more fun! This is a personal preference, quiet is more challenging and also much fun.
Anything participants need to bring to the workshop?
One cheap/crappy/broken electric guitar they are not afraid to modify. It is also possible to modify more "fine" instruments/guitars but my main focus will be in the cheap end of the scale and the possibilities there. Participants may also bring other acoustic instruments/objects for modification.
