Maria Øy Lojo: The Changing Room – In Real Time It Would Last A Thousand Years

BERGEN KUNSTHALL: MA UTSTILLINGEN KHIB 2009

Piksel has been a yearly event since 2003, starting as a workshop for developers of open-source software, with a particular emphasis on software for real-time manipulation of video and sound. Gradually Piksel has grown into a hybrid festival and workshop, meandering the boarders between artistic and technical development.

The first solo exhibition of Øyvind Mellbye demonstrates a true enthusiasm for and critical examination of technology.

Miro Soares work Imprecise Itineraries #1 – First impresions of a city is an impression of Bergen, recorded using a cell phone camera.

ComputerMusic4Kids is an interactive installation for kids, inviting them to explore the history and sound of gaming consoles. The installation is included in the “Avgarde special” Saturday 5. of December. Opening at 16.00, schoolchildren will perform their own composed music, and some of the music the BIT20 Ensemble is playing. From 18.00 until midnight the ensemble takes over and will play music written for the ensemble, some freshly made and some “classics”.
