Camp Pixelache 2012

Call for Proposals & Demos (Still Open!)


Call for Presentations and Demos!

We are calling out for further short presentations (5-15mins) on the 
main and sub-themes; as well as for demos to join the Open Design stalls.

Themes & Subthemes

// Main theme ‘Do-It-With-Others’
// Plenary speaker & facilitator: Marc Garrett, Furtherfield.org, London

How can artists, makers, cultural producers, researchers and activists 
work collaboratively with each other and audiences, to create new 
co-production models for artefacts/events with sustainability as the 
core goal?

This main theme ranges across sustainable, low-carbon, renewable, and 
decentralised use or production of “do-it-together” energy; as well as 
alternative social and bio- energy towards human sustenance in our 
cultural production models or everyday actions, which considers 
necessary change holistically.

// Sub-theme 1: ‘Suomenlinna Money Lab & Creative Neighbourhood Skills’
// Plenary speaker & facilitator: Pedro Soler, Independent, Barcelona

How to do facilitation, organisational and participatory practices, 
engaging in one’s own (or indeed another’s) neighbourhood, and explore 
different economies involved. This sub-theme covers citizen, volunteer, 
artistic and activist strategies as well as grassroots community 
development from different examples locally and internationally. It also 
covers presentations on alternative currency experiments and around the 
future of money.

// Sub-theme 2: ‘The Art of Gathering Environmental Data’
// Plenary speaker & facilitator: Jennifer Gabrys, Goldsmiths 
University, London

This sub-theme covers ecosystem theory, environmental monitoring, and 
citizen/ participatory science, in the context of open data. How can we 
support and develop the activities that are already going on in 
institutions at a more grassroot level, “producing reliable citizen 
science data”.

This sub-theme is designed in collaboration with the Bio Art Society

// Sub-theme 3: Virtuality, Social Identity and Augmented Reality
// Plenary speaker & facilitator: Owen Kelly, Arcada University of 
Applied Sciences, Helsinki

How are aspects of everyday life and social identity affected by virtual 
environments and social network platforms? This sub-theme creates space 
for discussion on the practices, projects, and communities that 
constitute digital identity and digital behaviour, as well as the 
interfaces between public/private, personal/social and real/virtual.
