PIKSEL25 20-23 Nov – Bergen – Norway
Piksel is an international festival for electronic art and technological freedom and involves participants from more than a dozen countries exchanging ideas, coding, presenting art and software projects, doing workshops, performances, and discussions on the aesthetics and politics of free technologies.
You will receive a festival pass with full access to all our events, a festival t-shirt and poster, a work certificate, and an experience for life!
We are excited to announce the call for projects for the 23nd edition of the Piksel Festival!
Piksel will again go hybrid this year, so we welcome ideas for both online and physical collaborative activities. We are also interested in projects that involve the virtual gallery IDLE. If you are a 3D artist, live coder, or feel inspired by the virtual environment IDLE (Inclusive Digital Laboratory for Experimental Art), we would love to hear your ideas. IDLE includes a virtual gallery that mimics the physical Piksel Studio 207 and is connected to the IDLE IoT system, with lights, screens, and a sound system controlled by the internet (Internet of Things system). Learn more at https://idle.piksel.no/.
To make the most of our resources and create a more sustainable event, we are extending the exhibition period from the festival dates until mid-December. We encourage you to present art installations that can be built in Bergen to minimize international transport, aligning with our green strategy. Due to limited resources, we will prioritize projects from individual artists or artist collectives that can explore a specific theme through multiple artworks and workshops. We warmly encourage artists to apply to different open tracks, as this will help us better understand the full scope of your work.
Please feel free to submit your projects to any of the open tracks: presentations, workshops, concerts, installations, and PikselSavers.
Piksel offers travel to Norway, accommodation, and meals during the festival and the setup days in advance to help you realize your project.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Piksel is an international festival for electronic art and technological freedom. Part workshop, part festival, it is organised in Bergen, Norway, and involves participants from more than a dozen countries exchanging ideas, coding, presenting art and software projects, doing workshops, performances and discussions on the aesthetics and politics of art and free technologies. Piksel25 is supported by the Municipality of Bergen, Arts Council Norway, Vestland Fylkeskommune and others.
Piksel is proud to present DIY Thread, a curated exploration of the do-it-yourself tradition in electronic art, at STWST48x11: FOG MANIFESTO. The program premieres during Ars Electronica, September 3–7, in Linz, Austria.
DIY Thread traces connections between art, activism, and technology by revisiting 23 years of the Piksel archive. It highlights projects where artists took tools into their own hands—modifying, reinventing, or even destroying technology to open new cultural and political perspectives.
From the playful to the critical, DIY Thread reveals how artists engage with media, software, and hardware as materials for experimentation and resistance.
Themes from the Archive
The showcase is organized around thematic strands that reflect the breadth of Piksel’s history:
DIY Radio – hands-on broadcasting and independent media
Performative Coding & Code Art – live code as performance and artform
DIY Bioart – merging biology with creative practice
Self-Destructive Hardware – devices that resist permanence
Radical Networks – alternative infrastructures and community-driven systems
Electronic Literature & Critical AI – writing machines and questioning algorithms
Together, these works highlight how critical art, joy, and science continue to intersect within the Piksel community.
Huge thanks to everyone who came out yesterday for the opening of Solar4Rain: an atmospheric PUNK symbiosis!
The exhibition is now live and welcomes all curious minds from Thursday to Sunday, 12:00–17:00.
Can we send rain to Spain and get the sun back to Bergen?
Solar4Rain is not just an exhibition—it’s a sci-fi vision of a world where humanity embraces equitable, sustainable, and symbiotic relationships with nature and technology.
Step into this atmospheric PUNK narrative and imagine a future that flows differently.
Piksel Festival is approaching, taking place from November 21-24, and we need enthusiastic volunteers to help make this electronic art festival a success!
We are looking for volunteers for both preparing and rigging the days before the opening of the festival and volunteers that can help us during the festival.
Date: Torsdag 26. september 2024 Time: 19:00 – 21:00 Place: Studio 207, Strandgaten 207, Bergen
Rob La Frenais in Bergen We are excited to welcome curator and performance artist Rob La Frenais to Piksel Studio during his stay in Bergen. On September 26th, during our Stormy Thursday event, Rob will host an informal, free talk on the concept of slow travel.
Rob La Frenais, a writer and curator for over 40 years, has returned to artistic practice. He founded Performance Magazine in 1979 and was curator of The Arts Catalyst (1997-2014).
For Stormy Thursdays, he will discuss his recent slow-travel journey, part of Rewilding Cultures, retracing his 2019 route between France and Finland, focusing on changes since the pandemic and the effects of climate change. He will also screen the Let The Birds Have The Skies video.
Join Stormy Thursdays 26th September 19:00 – 21:00 to listen in on Robs thoughts.
Piksel brings IDLE to Ars Electronica’s STWST48x10 NOPE, September 6-8, 2024
Piksel is pleased to announce our participation in STWST48x10 NOPE, part of the Ars Electronica festival, taking place from September 6 to 8, 2024, in Linz, Austria. This year, Piksel will showcase IDLE, our digital platform designed for collaborative art and live performance, both as an exhibition and a presentation.
Accessible at idle.piksel.no, IDLE offers a space for visitors to engage in creative exploration, including live visual performances in the cyber salon and collaborative music-making through avatar interactions in the virtual street and left room. The platform’s virtual instruments, based on Hydra live coding for visuals and Strudel live coding for music, make it easy for users to engage with digital art tools.
IDLE features contributions from artists like Flor de Fuego, Blaz Pavlica, Malitzin Cortés, and Iván Abreu, whose works enhance the interactive experience with seamless integration of digital and physical projections. Piksel will also participate in the “NOPE Sound Performances and Talk,” a segment dedicated to the intersection of sound, performance, and digital art.
We are excited to announce the call for projects for the 22nd edition of the Piksel Festival!

Plants exhibit remarkable responsiveness to their environment, reacting to stimuli from humans, other organisms, objects, and various environmental factors such as temperature, sound, and light.
In this workshop, led by the artists María Castellanos and Alberto Valverde , sensors are utilized to monitor the plant’s surroundings in real-time, facilitated by a bespoke web platform tailored for this project. Through this exploration, we aim to deepen our understanding of the intricate interactions between plants and their environment, fostering awareness of the shared coexistence between living entities.

Ever wondered what goes on in the minds of the plants surrounding us?
In this site-specific installation at the Studio 207, plants take control of the environment by manipulating technological elements such as lights, sounds, and mechanical systems created with relays, including the Piksel studio’s internet-controlled lighting system.
Entering the exhibition, visitors becomes mere spectators, detecting patterns in plant behavior through observation.

In the month of May and June, Piksel once again invite the general public, artists and thinkers alike to attend a series of interesting activities during the Piksel Fest Spill.
"BEYOND THE FUNCTION/ VISUAL_PUNK_LTD" visual_punk_ltd at PIKSEL25 The Spain based multidisciplinary artist Lena Plotnikova, also known as visual_punk_ltd, uses JS scripts to turn the Amazon website upside down. The glitch aesthetics, along with the hypnotic electronic music, result in a cathartic defacing of a rigid pillar of consumerism, a beautiful blasphemy against the corporate cult. https://www.interfront.no/l/applied-detournement-visual-punk-ltd/
