Piksel at STWST48x10 NOPE - 6. - 8. September 2024
https://stwst48x10.stwst.at/idle

We’re excited to announce that Piksel has been invited to participate in STADTWERKSTATT Linz's '48 Hours of Various Comments.'

As part of the STWST48x10 NOPE exhibition, Piksel will present an installation of our inclusive digital platform, IDLE - idle.piksel.no

IDLE is a playground for art enthusiasts to create live performances, interact with others, and explore innovative gadgets. In the cyber salon, visitors use visual actuators to create live visual performances, while in the virtual street and left room, they collaborate to create music by adjusting sound effects through avatar positioning.

The virtual instruments, designed for musical and visual exploration, are based on Hydra live coding and Strudel music live coding principles. Notable creations by artists like Flor de Fuego, Blaz Pavlica, Malitzin Cortés, and Iván Abreu integrate seamlessly with physical space projections and facilitate collaborative play, enriching the interactive auditory and visual experiences for all users.

IDLE will be presented also at “NOPE Sound Performances and talk”.
