I thought I would forward this just in case someone may be interested. Looks like an interesting call for work.<br><br>-Joe<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">juha huuskonen</b> <<a href="mailto:juhuu@juhuu.nu">juhuu@juhuu.nu</a>><br>

**Piksel08: code dreams<br>
december 4-7 2008<br>
Bergen, Norway<br>
<br>
How does code dream? What are the dreams of code?<br>
<br>
Piksel08 examines the other side of code, an alternative side to a hard-coded reality of work and play. Open hardware and free software<br>
project a utopic vision, yet exist within economies of capital, the<br>
dream factory of mainstream technology. Within the chance meeting<br>
of sewing machine and umbrella on the dissecting table, hardware<br>
and software are flattened.<br>
<br>
Piksel08: code dreams explores the dreams of this soft machine; bachelors<br>
coding for pleasure, reverse engineering paranoiac constructs of the real,<br>
automatic coding practice, soft hardware, and everyday magic.<br>
<br>

**subsections:<br>
<br>
**real code<br>
<br>
real.co.[de][re] actively explores code which has strong effects on the real, constructing the world through prediction and description. The<br>
twelve hour real.co.[de][re] session will attempt the active construction<br>
of a working code model (of any form) which addresses a flattening<br>
of the distinction between software and hardware, to resolve a new<br>
political reference for real core code.<br>
<br>
**abstract code<br>
<br>
Abstract code is software whose results can be invisible, a software<br>
implementing different layers of action at the same time.<br>
Abstract code is a connection to parallel worlds, a poetic formula dealing<br>
with outer forces. Code is art, its action is subtile, effective, magic.<br>
<br>
**procedural text<br>
<br>
maledictions, oracles, iambi, hymn, formula, refrains, hypnotic sentences,<br>
prayers, and other.<br>
<br>
