STWST at Piksel 2024

Piksel is an international network and festival for electronic art and technological freedom in Bergen, Norway, taking place this year between 21 and 24 November. Participants exchange ideas, programme, present art and software projects, organise workshops, performances and discuss the aesthetics and politics of free technologies.

STWST is invited to a collaborative Media()Mess.

Today, the development and thus the use of digital technologies is mainly controlled by multinational corporations. Despite the prospects of technology expanding artistic expression, it is instead severely limited by the commercial demands of the software industry. Piksel focuses on the free/libre and open source movement as a strategy to regain artistic control over technology, but also as a means to draw attention to the close links between art, politics, technology and business.
