Spring is approaching and for Piksel it brings the fruits of winter labor.
In the month of March Piksel is ready to visit Slovenia as we pack up and go to realize the project DIGI.KOMP, a Cultural cooperation with Slovenians partners through the EEA and Norway Grants.
To answer the growing demands for the use of digital content in society, Piksel has prepared 3 workshops about basic electronics, DIY bioart instruments, and digital streaming competence. Participating in the workshops are teachers, other pedagogical workers, and training organizers struggling to keep their digital competences up to date.
The first part of the project is planned for March 2023 when the Piksel team travel to Slovenia to host the first series of workshops. To help lead the workshops we are lucky to be joined by the artists Sarah Grant, Hamilton Mestizo and APO33/Julien Ottavi.
DIGI.KOMP is a collaboration with Slovenian Partners: Zasavska ljudska univerza, The Institute for Culture Delavski dom Trbovlje and Knjižnica Toneta Seliškarja Trbovlje, with the support of EEA and Norway Grants.
