map me if you will
By the mere fact of living an ordinary modern urban life, we produce a huge amount of information about ourselves that we are hardly aware of, nor we usually see or make use of. Through this data we become traceable, accessible, predictable – and clearly enough – ideal clients of information-based capitalism.
Computational Photography
In computational photography, camera and picture-taking are perceived as concepts that can be modified in do-it-yourself spirit and are therefore open to discussion, redefinition, and hacking.
groWorld Bazaar
The Groworld Bazaar is a collection of projects exploring connections between plants and people. The Groworld initiative brings together three ‘forces’ capable of transforming the world on human and ecological scales: culture, gardening and technology.
Camp Pixelache
Camp Pixelache is an experimental event format taking place on Saturday 12 March + Sunday 13 March, featuring a temporary exhibition/lab and a series of presentations & meetings.
Signals from the South
The 4th edition of Signals from South (a programme section focusing on art, media and technology projects from Asia, Africa and South America) will feature an exhibition by Jean Katambayi Mukendi from Congo (RDC).
Defunensemble & Koelse: ZONE
Defunensemble and KOELSE will build an audiovisual experience in which compositions overlap with improvisations, acoustic with electronic, sound with visual.
Pixelache Clubs
Äänen Lumo has chosen an eclectic bunch of artists to perform at Pixelache Club events on Friday + Saturday - featuring Yann Leguay (FR), Taco Bells and Martin Küchen, Gayborhood DJ’s, Varropas, annajoanna!, Laulan Sinule (EST), DJ’s Esmeralda Temple and Myan Maraca.
