This theme focuses on fast peer-production & crowd-sourcing digital tools, interfaces, archiving, streaming media & documentation, through open sessions focusing on knowledge sharing and archiving. This context will be used to explore new open-source solutions, develop new practices and share methods, as an open learning and ‘open-sourcing’ process, for improved documentation, archivization, and distribution of learning outcomes.
You are invited to take part in Living Chatter, which is a part of this year'sPixelache Festival. Living Chatter will take place at Arcada University of Applied Science on Friday, 25 September. It will begin in Oasis, Room C350, at 11:00. It is scheduled to end sometime after 16:00. In this particular case, despite what people say, there will be a free lunch!
What is Living Chatter?Living Chatter is an experimental think-in using a format that we have devised. It will be a structured discussion that we hope will produce concrete results that may, in turn, help define Pixelache's future...
Workshop by Jon Nordby (Norway) where we will use visual programming in Flowhub to createcustom sensors, interactions and sound experiences.
As a basis we have microcontrollers (Arduino) wiredwith sensors, both off-the-shelf and custom-built.
These we will connect to our laptops and/orembedded Linux machines (Raspberry Pi) and use
SuperCollider to create sound from these.
Depending on the interest and feedback,we may go on to develop an installation or performance
to be completed during the festival.
Participants should bring:
* Laptop (Linux/OSX/Windows)
* Headphones

Workshop by Hlöðver Sigurðsson.
HlöðverSigurðsson plays a musical improvision using interactive graphics. The music is performed through a computer program, programmed by the artist to control the performance. The composer uses Overtone to program chords and sounds, usingglitches and noise to create an unpredictable outcome. The graphics are created by connectiong sounds from colorand pattern parameters in the graphic via GLSL programming.All programs used are published under the Creative Commons or MIT/BSD/GNU.

Performance by Ríkharður H. Friðriksson.
Do you have a sore throat ? A bad cold? Or did you have too much to drink last night? Is your voice destroyed and your respiration not function as it should? This works is inspired by the composer‘s suffering from all of the above during the darkest period of an Icelandic winter. The work was carried out almost entirely on Kyma sound system atthe studio of Kopavogur Music School during the shortest days of winter in 2001-2002. Unable to complete the work properly for a deadline in February, Rikhardur continued to work on the piecein the spring of...
Within the context of Gaîté Lyrique's'Laboratoire Ouvert',Mal au Pixeland the Pixelache Networkhas proposedfrom May 2014 to April 2015,a cycle of open meetings, gatherings and workshopsofferingcritical points of viewon current, emergingor future technologies. Artist-researchers have beeninvited to transmit their know-how during a workshop, in areas such as open source programming, open hardware electronic creation, network protocols, real-time interaction etc. As the closing event of this cycle, Mal au pixel is organising a full week-end of performances, talks and workshops:
