Introducing the PixelAche Network

Pixelache is an international network of cultural organisations
engaging with art, technology and social change. In 2015 Access Space
will be hosting the UK's first "PixelAche" festival. In preparation
for this, we've invited representatives from some other Pixelache
nodes to visit us. From 3rd-5th April we're hosting artists, curators
and cultural animateurs from Finland, France, Iceland and Norway.

Come and meet them, and find out more! This is an opportunity to
develop ideas, connections and collaborations, perhaps with a view to
taking part in the 2015 Festival.

All activities are free. Please email jake at access-space.org for more info.

>From 3rd-5th there will be ongoing amusements and activities involving:

* "Pirate Box" Mathieu Marguerin & Benjamin Cadon (FR) (labomedia.net)
- Create invisible local network through router hacking Benjamin will
run a workshop based on pirate boxes (hacking a router for an
invisible local P2P network + setting up a Raspberry PI for FM
casting). From this starting point, it can lead to sound/video
streaming, air data sniffing, radio waves sonification... Benjamin
runs a non profit facility (www.labomedia.net) in Orléans and is also
an artist. He's proposing a sound performance visualizing networks
around and sonifying a wifi hotspot under attack.
* "Subversive Origami" Rasmus Hungnes (NO) (rasmushungnes.com)
* "Cafe Access Space" John W. Fail (US/EE/FI) (icewhistle.com)

On Saturday, 5th April, 14:00-18:00, there will be an afternoon of
presentations including:

* Nathalie Aubret (FR/FI) (pixelache.ac) "Introducing the PixelAche Network"
* John W. Fail (US/EE/FI) (icewhistle.com) "Exploring Our Relationship
to Sound & Space"
* James Wallbank (GB) (access-space.org) "Crowdfunding and Tactical Art"
* Margrét Elísabet Ólafsdóttir (IS) "Retrieving Past Futures"
* Gisle Frøysland (NO) (piksel.no) "About Drones"
* Tuomo Tammenpää (FI) (www.misusage.org) "Case Vinde, a Community
Activation Co-operative"

OPEN PLATFORM 5 - Fri 4th April, 6.00-8.00pm

RAP(s) - Random Access Performances - TwT.hashbangbinbash -x
The Hindus believe that if you put a shell to your ear you can listen
to the universe ...

OPEN PLATFORM/RAP(s)-TwT. is a micro event that explores the digital
with physical means by asking performers to present digital work
without using anything digital.

In a small, intimate space performers take up the challenge of
re-thinking the digital with free interpretations that are 1 to 10
minutes in duration, about or related to digital technology and
happening on some sort of platform.

'Technology without Technology' (TwT) performances are a creative,
playful strategy to negotiate the 'unknowable' of digital technology
and the constant information overload in our contemporary world. OPEN
PLATFORM_4/RAP(s)-TwT.hashbangbinbash -x will feature performances by

We are keen to see some script run but anything goes as long as it is
about or related to digital technology.

RAP(s) - Random Access Performances: OPEN PLATFORM_5/RAP(s) -
TwT.hashbangbinbash -x will take place in the Access Space Foyer.
