PixelVÄRK 05.-07.10 Stockholm

PixelVÄRK is a festival for electronic art and subcultures and a Swedish version of pixelACHE. The first pixelACHE festival was organised in Helsinki in 2002. Since then it has become annual event at Kiasma and additional festivals has been arranged in New York, Bratislava, Montreal, Paris and Colombia. PixelACHE presents projects experimenting with media and technology from a broad range of discipline: artists, engineers, designers, researchers and architects. There is a focus on grass-root networks and communities such as VJ Communities, media activists, open source communities and demo scene.
The theme for the 2007 pixelVÄRk is aesthetics, tools and methods in VJ-ing and other underground media. The festival marks the end of the Game Art focus Mejan Labs has had during the early autumn of 2007, where art related to computer games have been discussed.

The festival starts with a seminar with a certain focus on the festival topics and continues with three club nights celebrating the live video and the pixel.
