pikseliÄHKY 2003
audiovisual laboratory - Kiasma Theatre, Helsinki 10-13 April 2003

# audiovisual experiments and creative misuse of technology
# DIY lo-fi/hi-fi performances and installations

The second pikseliÄHKY temporary audiovisual lab will be set up in Kiasma, Museum of 
Contemporary Art in Helsinki. The event will feature 4 days of shows, screenings, 
workshops and panel discussions. 

pikseliÄHKY 2003 concentrates on two themes:

'VIDEOJUKKA' : We explore the art of VJ'ing, the act of mixing and creating video 
material in a live situation in connection with the music. International and local VJ 
stars will perform and give workshops on VJ tools and technologies. Panel discussions 
and talks will analyse the background and future of VJ'ing, as seen from the 
perspective of visual arts, film making and other relevant contexts.

Audiovisual architecture : Experimental projects combining media and architectural 
design. Interactive art installations, robots and sensors, projected environments and 
living surfaces. pikseliÄHKY artists will create projects or prototypes around the 
city and give practical workshops.
