'Project Description

Partners

Piksel is organizing with its partners Piksel Latam, a South American tour comprising 4 countries: Mexico, Perú, Colombia and Ecuador. Our partners are museums, artist-run organisations and other non-profit cultural institutions.

Four days of workshops, exhibitions, audiovisual concerts and a BioARt Lab with international and local artists working on art and technology with a special focus on bioart, enviromental sciences and DIY electronics.

Piksel Satellites will be held in Arequipa (Perú), Quito & Pujili (Ecuador) , Mexico D.F. (MX) and Medellín (Colombia).

The Piksel curatorial team (Maite Cajaraville & Gisle Frøysland) have chosen a representative group of artists and works from Piksel Festival participants in order to present the most innovative artistic research on new and emerging technologies based on openness and free cultural practice.

International group of artists: Egil Paulsen (NO), Gisle Frøysland (NO), John Hegre (NO), Alexander Castonguay (CA), Maxim Demancour (CA), Erin Sexton (CA), Maite Cajaraville (ES), Servando Barreiro (ES), Cristian Delgado (MX) and Constanza Piña (CL).

The works range from sound art, sound installation, video research, interactive video, video performance, interactive installation, stand alone video loop (pikselsavers), textile gadgets, DIY BioHacking, visual programming and live coding.

At each city/country, a group of local artists will be selected from an open call using Piksel festival management software which includes artists automatically at the growing artists database. Curatorial tasks will be shared with local curators and directors.

Curators Gisle Froysland (Norway), Maite Cajaraville (Spain), Marco Valdivia (Perú), Camilo Cantor, Juan Jaramillo and Jorge Barco (Colombia), José Luis Jácome y Tania Navarrete (Ecuador), Maria Antonia González, Minerva Hernández (Mexico).

PIKSEL Latam events, acting as a pilot project, aim to establish a longlasting collaborative network in South America. The goal of the project is to establish a rhizomatic network of interconnected nodes to work with in the next years.
