Piksel20
November 19-22 2020
Bergen, Norway
Dear friends,
this year the Piksel Festival has been waiting to the last minute to
release the open call in the hope the Covid rules would relax a bit,
mainly regarding the obligation to quarantine artists at arrival in
Bergen.
As the festival is approaching, we finally decided to do a double open
call.
One is for artists travelling from non quarantine countries who can
travel to Bergen. Please check here if your country is in a yellow
colour:
https://www.fhi.no/en/op/novel-coronavirus-facts-advice/facts-and-general-a…
We are aware that the map can change in the next months.
The other one is for artists (who can not travel to Bergen) whose
artworks can be presented either virtually/online (Mozilla Hubs,
PikselSavers, online concerts, presentations and workshops) or
physically at the exhibition where the Piksel technical team will
follow the artists instructions to setup the works.
Adding to the open call, Piksel also invites 1 international artist
collective, a "cohort", from 1 to 3 people, to pass the quarantine time
(10 days) together in a residency/house in Bergen. During the
quarantine, the artist collective Q10 will develop workshops, artworks
and installations or performances. They will be presenting the results
over the 10 days through online digital media and window display
screens. Once the quarantine time is over, these artists will be able
to participate at the Piksel Festival concerts and exhibition with all
the health guarantees in place. The QUARANTINE 10 project aims to bring
the people together on this dystopian ”new normality”.
Please feel free to submit your projects to anyone of the open tracks:
Presentations, workshops, concerts, installations and the Q10project.
We apologize for the short time to present the applications. Deadline
10th of October. Please use the online submit form at:

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

aesthetics and politics of art and free technologies.

Sorry for the short notice, but there you are:
Please pass by tonight to the concert of Audio Mostly 2020, presenting
our newly developed our Live and Immersive Environment Streaming Lab
(LIESL) based on an Ambisonics stream (HOAST)!
Concert 16.09.2020 - 20h CEST
https://am20.iem.at/live/
You may "sit" in the concert hall, move around with your mouse and use
Ambisonics or binaural audio to see and hear the chosen works of Audio
Mostly music submissions in 360 degrees around you.
The 360° video compositing is done - of course - in Gem (yours sincerely).
The setup is a bit experimental, and the 16MBit/s streams might saturate
our 1GBit uplink if *all* of you join. (but of course, there's a
fallback 2D-stream that is pre-rendered to binaural, if you just want to
enjoy the concert).

To Pd-announce:
Pd version 0.51-2 is available on http://msp.ucsd.edu/software.htm or
via github. Updates to the pd~ object, particularly fixing problems when there
is white space in the path to pd (as in "Program Files"). The pd~ object is
now also working in Max/MSP.

I'm happy to announce the release of [vstplugin~] v0.4.0 - a Pd external
to load VST plugins on Windows, macOS and Linux!
Binaries are available on Deken or can be downloaded here:
https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/-/releases
<https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/-/releases>
If possible, please report any issues at
https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/issues, otherwise leave a comment here:
https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/13013/vstplugin-v0-4-0-released
---
Here are the major new features:
*
automatic bit bridging (load 32-bit plugins on a 64-bit Pd and vice
versa).
*
|[open(|: new flags "-p" for sandboxing and "-b" for bridging. Both
options allow plugins to crash safely without taking down the Pd.
This can be handy for buggy/unstable plugins (especially during live
shows :-)
*
|[open(|: new "-t" flag for multithreading (process plugins in
seperate helper threads to utilize more CPU cores)
* |[latency(| message is sent whenever the plugin's processing latency
changes
See the release page for the full change log.
Have fun!

Else 1.0 beta 31 is out! Highlight is a new *[batch.write~] *that batch
records to arrays. It is a nice counterpart to *[batch.rec~]* included in
the last release. I also have *[perlin~]* (a Perlin noise abstraction
developed by Matt Barber). There are more changes and fixes, and the Live
Electronic Tutorial that comes with it reflects those changes and has a
better and revised section on recording in "24-Sampling(buffer)". Check
here for binaries (which should be up in deken in a few hours) and for a
full changelog: <https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-beta31
>.

Cyclone 0.5-3 is out, needs Pd 0.51-0 (but 0.51-1 is out and you should get
that). It's available via Pd. Most of the work is still in getting
cyclone/comment "awesome", like now we draw an outline when in edit mode
and added support for foreign alphabets. It still needs a better properties
window and hopefully we'll get there soon. There's also other stuff in this
release. Find full changelog and binaries here:
https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases/tag/cyclone_0.5-3 (binaries
also available via Pd's 'deken'). Cheers.
Hi, this needs Pd 0.51-the highlight is a new abstraction called
[batch.rec~] that records your patches into a sound file in batch mode. In
this way you can render whatever amount of audio as fast as possible in
your computer. This is possible with the new 'fast-forward' message to Pd,
available in Pd 0.51-1. The cool thing about this object is that it has
multichannel support. The "Live Electronics Tutorial" is part of the
package and relies on the ELSE library. Find this folder inside the 'else'
folder, check its readme. The tutorial also provides an example on how to
use this new 'fast-forward' feature. Check
"Vol.1/Introduction-Pd.Quickstart/2.Syntax/4.fast-forward.pd". Find
downloads for basically every platform possible now (there are 4 different
ones for raspberry pi only) at
https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-beta30 - Check also in
this link more CHANGELOG details. A Changelog for the tutorial is here
https://github.com/porres/Live-Electronics-Tutorial/releases/tag/v1.0-beta-…
You cal also download this directly via "Pd => Find Externals", just search
for 'else', it's already online!
