Briefly about Piksel and Piksel Studio
Piksel is a network of artists and an annual media art festival based in Bergen (NO), which focuses on the relationship between art and free technologies, arranged for the first time in 2003.
Piksel Studio 207 is Piksel’s new project in Bergen. Piksel Studio 207 is established in a 130 m2 room where we will create an annual program for artists, children and young people, cultural institutions and the general public.
CALL FOR PROJECTS
In 2018 Piksel Studio plans to make up to 5 exhibitions selected from this open call. Each exhibition will take a maximun of a month, one week to setup and 3 weeks to exhibit. Formats are flexible and open for discussion.
Piksel Studio is currently seeking artists, curators and organizations to use the space as an exhibition space, workshop room or performative space. The projects can be of any format that fits the space.
The works must be realized by the use of free and open source technologies. We specially encourage projects in the field of DIY Bioart, renewable/sustainable technologies, DIY and open hardware, audiovisual software tools or software art released under a free/open license. (Also includes presentations of artistic projects realized using free/open technologies.)
Piksel offers the space, the communication skills, the technical production equipment and support within the actual resources. The selected projects must provide their own fundings in case extra production costs are needed (travel, accommodation, per diems etc.). Piksel can assist in seeking for external fundings in specific projects.
The selection will be done in a first come first served process. We will be selecting projects as they come and the call is open till 1st of October.
