Digi.Komp – Second visit to Slovenia
Piksel spent parts of September visiting Slovenia, connecting with the involved Digi.Komp partners and leading workshops on immersive learning and Creative Coding.
Joining Piksel we had the Norwegian artist Hillevi Munthe and the Mexican coding artists Malitzin Cortés and Iván Abreu. While Hillevi shared techniques on how to insert electrical elements into textile, creating wearable electronic art, Malitzin and Iván led workshops on creating virtual worlds.
As the visit aligned with the Speculum Artium festival, Piksel had the chance to partake in a panel discussion, showcasing some of our current projects.

Electronic Fields
We want to welcome the festival of Electronic Art and Free Technologies: ELECTRONIC FIELDS that premiers 26th – 29th October in the Spanish town Llerena and its region: the Campiña Sur in Extremadura.
With a multidisciplinary approach, Electronic Fields fuses art, science and technology and involves diverse artistic practices, such as visual arts, sound experimentation, audiovisual performances and projections. It uses different formats to open a dialogue on rural themes, which include workshops, visits to the territory, discussions and exhibitions, all from a local perspective that focuses on the territory and is based on artistic practice.
A perfect lead-up to Piksel (NO) festival, and perhaps a nice escape from Norwegian autumn weather!
