xxxxx_at_piksel
13-14 October, Cinemateket USF,Bergen, Norway
Two days of seminar, discussion and highly practical interrogation of
expanded
software and the impact of the executable on necessarily open hardware
as a
political act.
xxxxx crashes into the intent of open hardware, eviscerating software;
the
blunt realm of the user as cynical economic motif. After Artaud, the CPU
(central processing unit) and its double mimes The Theatre and its
Double. On
the one hand, there is the System or entropic operation of a necessarily
cynical machine for living, an atrocity exhibition, on the other hand
the
specification of an artistic CPU for life coding. The data sheet will be
examined as to its operational codes (day one), new (simulation) models
will
be constructed (day two).
Confirmed participants:
Wilfried Hou Je Bek, Martin Howse, Jonathan Kemp, Aymeric Mansoux, Bruno
Marchal, Otto Roessler, Tom Schouten, Marloes de Valk, Eva Verhoeven,
Valentina Vuksic
Produced by BEK and ap/xxxxx:
ap/xxxxx[1] was founded in 1998 to necessitate the code-terms expansion
implied by a growing and politically active free software movement. With
wilfully avant-garde intent, and through intervention, performance,
staged
events, seminars, hardware constructions and readily accessible
software,
ap/xxxxx examines through live descriptive process software (culture and
history), embedding auto-destruction. Software is viewed as substance.
Piksel[2] is an annual event for artists and developers working with
open
source audiovisual software. Part workshop, part festival, it is
organised in
Bergen, Norway, by the Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts (BEK)[3] and
involves participants from more than a dozen countries exchanging ideas,
coding, presenting art and software projects, doing workshops,
performances
and discussions on the aesthetics and politics of open source and free
culture. This year's event - Piksel06[4]
If I had extra money - I would definately pay this seminar a visit - it
looks interesting…
