■■ 3. PIKSEL PLENUM [seminar]

Electronic art is more closely connected to the development of technology than
any other art genre. New technology creates new opportunities for artists and
developers, and with that follows the discussion of copyright, IPR and
distribution rights.

In 2009 Piksel started a seminar series, Piksel Plenum, that set focus on such
socio-political questions. In 2010 we plan to host 3 Plenum events, by
inviting various thinkers and artists to give presentations and be involved in
discussions at Landmark, Bergen Kunsthall.

Piksel Plenum #1 2010 is taking place in April, and this year we work with
ambient seminar as the form for the Plenum events. The immersive character of
this type of seminar places the audience in the centre of attention, and in
addition  to presentations the evenings will include visual and musical
references presented through a relevant selection of media and communication
technology.’
