This year Piksel adds to the regular Piksel festival workshops and the Piksel Kidz Lab edition, a new initiative in collaboration with Bergen Dansesenter – resource centre for dance in Vestland and PRODA. The new program “Performing arts Workshops, electronics and free/libre technologies applied to the performing arts.” consists in a workshops program for performers, choreographers, actors, artistic directors and theatre art technicians, and general public interested on the use of digital tools applied to interaction, sound, light, devices control, robotics, etc. with free technologies! As a result of the collaboration with the Critical Engineering Working -group we welcome 2 other workshops “Selfhosted” and Hotglue by Danja Vasiliev, Sarah Grant and Bengt Sjölén.

FRIDAY 18th NOVEMBER Ephemer(e)ality Capture: Glitching Photogrammetry – Tom Milnes 10am-1pm - online(BBB2) https://21.piksel.no/2021/11/19/ephemereality-capture-glitching-photogrammet... Ephemer(e)ality Capture is a practice-based workshop in which participants hack, disturb and glitched the parameters of photogrammetry. Participants use free or open-source 3D scanning apps and software (which they can access online) to scan reflective, invisible, specular, refractive, or ‘ephemeral’ objects and materials to create images that actively confuse the imaging algorithm.

Audiovisual creation in Pure Data/GEM using [ARRAST_VJ] – Bruno Rohde 10am-1pm - online(BBB1) https://21.piksel.no/2021/11/19/audiovisual-creation-in-pure-data-gem-using-... This workshop introduces the basic and creative uses of **[ARRAST_VJ]**, a free software for audiovisual creation that enables real time manipulation of videoclips (with sound), images and cameras, and also the creation of interactive compositions, which may be stored, reproduced and exported.

__Mellite__ is an open source application that aims to be an environment both for the composition and creation as well as for the performance and exhibition of computer based music and sound art. In general, participants should have some basic experience with a programming language, knowing how sound synthesis works in SuperCollider is advantageous but not mandatory.

Simple WebXR with AR.js and Model-Viewer – tacacocodin 11am-12:30pm - online (BBB2) https://21.piksel.no/2021/11/19/audiovisual-creation-in-pure-data-gem-using-... Covering the basic and recommended settings for having simple AR web applications. In this case, Modelviewer for using Android's ARCore and iOS's ARKit native frameworks and AR.js for simple marker tracking.

Jeu Videa – Natacha Roussel/Amelie Dumont 12.30pm-2pm - online (BBB2) https://21.piksel.no/2021/11/20/jeu-videa/ Exploring collectively, feminist and intersectional possibilities of vide-a game by learning Godot Engine software. Since the episode of “Gamergate” a few years ago, and partly thanks to the work of feminist academics such as: Anita Sarkeesian (feminist frequency), among others, we now have a better understanding of gender relations in video games. So far there is still very few attempts to develop a video game format that captures feminist and collaborative principles, by transforming the modalities of video games.
