2nd announcement Piksel Fest Spill Bergen, Norway - June 2024
///+\\\
We are excited to start the second round of Piksel Fest Spill activities, this time focused on Live Coding. Live coding (sometimes referred to as 'on-the-fly programming', 'just-in-time programming', and 'conversational programming') is a performing arts form and a creative technique centered on writing source code and using interactive programming in an improvised way. Hydra is a live code-able video synth and coding environment that runs directly in the browser. It is free and open-source and made for beginners and experts alike.

On June 8th, guest artists Blaž Pavlica from Slovenia and Flor de Fuego from Germany/Argentina will perform using virtual instruments through Hydra live coding instances within IDLE, the Inclusive Digital Laboratory for Experimental Art at Studio 207 in Bergen. The event will also be streamed for an international audience.
• Date: June 8th • Time: 23:00-00:00 CEST (Doors open at 22h) • Where: Studio 207, Strandgaten 207, Bergen • Online at: https://www.twitch.tv/pikselfest • Entrance: Free
This event is part of the ICLC Satellite Events celebrated in Shanghai last week, produced by the NYU (https://iclc.toplap.org/2024/satellite.html). The virtual instruments has been created ad hoc for Piksel and IDLE by the artists, and premiered in November 23 at Studio 207.
