PiksteriaLab 2014 – Concert

Marc Dusseiller, Paula Pin, Adegreden Donora, Budi Prakosa. PIKSTERIALAB CREW CONCERT 8-Bit Mixtape started from a fun session of Budi Prakosa, Andreas Siagian and Marc Dusseiller exploring the possibility of using BabyGnusbuino, a simple microcontroller that was developed by Anyma. The idea was to create a synthesizer from an affordable programmable chip that is playful […]

Big Data Wall Fillers

Birgit Bachler The project Big Data Wall Fillers is an attempt to make abstract datasets more accessible for domestic use, by processing them into decorative wall paper. The datasets used so far contain the following datasets: Benthic infauna (marine ecology – critters in the sand/mud flats) in Waitem/Manukau/ Kaipara harbours Nuclear power plants worldwide and […]

Phase Space

Erin Sexton, 2014 Between ritual and experiment, phase space is an audio/visual performance wherein I search for emergent sonic phenomena, trans-physical resonance, and distortions in space-time. A feedback network of tactile electronics interfaces with the chemistry of electrolysis, using salt solutions as signal processors while transforming their molecular structure. Perception is expanded as a live […]

Thêta Fantomes

Floss+Art+Game – brain waves and frequencies battle APO33 Collective (Romain Paion, Amandine Néhou) Brain waves are very much subject to fantasy and imagination. Advances in science over the last 50 years have made it possible to read the number of hertz per minute produced by our different areas of the brain and their various modulations […]

The Temporary Archive of Ambiguous Architectures

Kelly Jaclynn Andres The Temporary Archive of Ambiguous Architecture (2012-2014), is a series of experiments with rapid prototyping techniques and living fungi. The first part of the archive system (Archive 1, math & mycelium) uses a modified rep rap printer that is programmed to print with agar and mycelium spores when it senses vibrations in […]

Embedded Artist

Malte Steiner, Wolfgang Spahn A media performance by Malte Steiner and Wolfgang Spahn, 2014 Industrial noise and digital sound processing meets multi space projections: “Embedded Artist” is a media performance by Malte Steiner and Wolfgang Spahn. The performance combines four different layers of visions that are merging into one visual Gesamtkunstwerk: 3D models, video scratching, […]

PiksteriaLab 2014

Contents Open BioElectronix and BioSonification Experimenting with Ion channel measurements of Chara clorella Bioelectronix, the merging of technology and living – the hacking together of hybrid systems has been one of our core interests and brought us together at Piksel already in 2009. During this sessions we’ll continue on various prototypes connecting plants to puredata, […]

APODIO workshop

Romain Papion APODIO is a free computer operating system towards artists and new designers, alternative to microsoft and apple, created in Nantes in the APO33 Lab. It is the new generation of a free and creative computer science. The new version 10 will be based on Xubuntu 14.04 LTS Real swiss-army-knife software for audio, video, […]

DECIPHERING RANDOMNESS

Robert B. LISEK Workshop poses fundamental questions concerning the working of human brain and randomness. It is intended for experienced users interested in practical use of randomness for creative purposes in visual arts, music and film. Nowadays, many procedures based on simulation of random processes lie at the basis of practical applications in banking, stock […]

Electrochemical Improvisation: experiments with electronics, sound, and crystallization

Erin Sexton Matter and energy are changing states continually, extending through multiple dimensions that we are just discovering how to perceive. By mixing solid-state electronics with fluid open systems we can explore emergent sonic phenomena, amplifying our experience of the everyday. This workshop will give a brief introduction to basic electrochemistry and crystallization, followed by […]

Pure Data Synthesizer workshop

Servando Barreiro In this workshop, among other more advanced things, the attendants are going to learn the basic building blocks of a classic synth. Concretely we are going to study and hack a clone of the beautiful and simple ¨moog werkstatt¨ synth which is an experimental limited edition synth. As it´s name indicates, this is […]
