Bergen thus becomes an island of magic composed of smaller islands (a fish farm, for example). invited international participants include Otto E. Rossler, pioneer of chaos theory research and endophysics, Jessica Rylan, renowned sound artist and analogue electronics constructor, and Julian Oliver, augmented reality coder, amongst many others [see below]. coded slogans: 1] un coup de dés... a roll of the dice will never abolish chance, but such minimal techniques can be used within a form of light playback head constructivism (after W.S Burroughs). several dice throws allow for re-editing of last year's documentary (a new xxxxx).//every revolution is a throw of the dice 2] no input/no output. 3] the electric postman will leap from island to island in the southern ocean and extricate their minds from their erratic labyrinths 4] zu <—> auf code invisibility: the latest xxxxx_at_piksel marks a return to code precisely when code can be considered as the least visible object of study; it does occur to ask the question of how this may have happened. island formation: island implies isolation and magic, a programmatic listing of TEMPEST islands. isolation, a water barrier or border surrounding the land; a white sea head separates the many clotted islands. for there can hardly be just one island, some singular island existing in a vacuum, with absolutely no manner of communication, in a sense also of adjacency with a continuum of spumy water and further islands. bridges/fjords/channels: between live coder and pragmatised user, physical carrier and protocol (itself forming the communication channel) - invisible code on an equally coded physical strata. Literature is thus a peculiar geologic activity. sample activities: life coding, enclosure or island formation, [re-]construction of systems of communication and of novel protocols, fish farming, measurement (of electromagnetic and other intensities), writing [literature], making diagrams, psychogeographic unmapping, chemical and biologic experimentation, cooking, film documentary invited participants and what they may or may not be doing on that day: Oswald Berthold: software radio, measurement and mapping of EM intensities, piping, new protocols Nik Gaffney: cooking lab, microwave studies, new protocols Vincent Van Uffelen, Beatrice Fazi, Caroline Heron, Joao Wilbert: historical channel and cable reconstitution Martin Howse: EM scrying, white noise, film editing, un coup de dés, cutups Eleni Ikoniadou: phantom coding, examination of ghosted computation, island hopping and connection Jonathan Kemp: bicycle wheel EM field generation, iron ore Edison studies, fireworks Maja Kuzmanovic: cooking lab, microwave studies Julian Oliver: steganography, Python code expansion, silentTV, data forensics Alejandra Perez Nunez: transmission, TV broadcast, RAW interviews Jessica Rylan: simulations theory, lightwave communication, singing Otto Rossler: practical endophysics, discussion of mute sperm whale communication, impending technocratic disaster analysis Grzesiek Sedek: phantom coding, examination of ghosted computation, island hopping and connection Danja Vasiliev: literal pipes, shared communications systems, terminal VJ Eva Verhoeven: phantom coding, examination of ghosted computation, island hopping and connection //real code is open to the construction and participation of all present at piksel08 code dreams. *** 2] xxxxx_peenemünde publication pre-order xxxxx_peenemünde presents documentation, archive material and original research resulting from the first series of working groups in Peenemünde conducted in early 2008. This speculative event, described in the work, was projected as an intense, conspiratorial expedition and meeting within a key, historical location. xxxxx_peenemünde actively examines a fiction which presents a dark heart of technology (as evidenced by electromagnetic practice), and a vivid relation to both entropy and ecology. With contributions and participation from: Tatiana Bazzichelli, Oswald Berthold, Federico Bucolossi, Ewen Chardronnet, Alejo Duque, Kathrin Guenter, Martin Howse, Jonathan Kemp, Martin Kuentz, Bjørn Magnhildøen, Alice Miceli, Gaia Novati, Alejandra Perez Nunez, Julian Oliver, Otto E. Rossler, Jessica Rylan, Horia Cosmin Samoïla, Gordan Savicic, Andrei Smirnov And with many thanks for support to: Stephen Kovats and all at Transmediale, Historisch-Technisches Informationszentrum (HTI) Peenemünde xxxxx_peenemünde is only available from xxxxx_micro_research [Berlin], Linienstrasse 54 in person or by electronic means: http://1010.co.uk/xxxxx_peenemuende.html Print quality PDF: http://plot.bek.no/~xxxxx/pmprint.pdf enquiries: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** 3] xxxxx_micro_research [Berlin] // 2009 Announcing the launch [January 2009] of xxxxx_micro_research [Berlin]; an independent research centre focusing on the expanded construction and experience of free software and open hardware within an markedly interdisciplinary context. The field of research can be described as the active examination and questioning of technology, and the investigation of the novel means of description put forward by both software and hardware. These concerns expand to cover science and art domains with an emphasis very much on investigating a radical, new discipline which both fields elaborate. Alongside free software and open hardware, concrete research topics include science as fiction, practical endophysics, the politics and ontology of electromagnetic phenomena, and the novel discipline of digital forensics. Research activities include an extension of the last two years' workshop series, monthly salons, micro-residencies, an experimental event in June, POD publication of research findings and development of software (artistic OS) and hardware (scrying). Applications are invited for both workshop construction and micro-residencies (conventional postal systems or W.A.S.T.E as preferred channels). xxxxx_micro_research [Berlin] will be supported in 2009 by Hauptstadtkulturfonds. xxxxx_micro_research [Berlin], Linienstrasse 54, Berlin 10119 U2, Rosa-Luxemburg-Pl.
