Pixelache visits Jyväskylä and its’ Yläkaupungin Yö -festival 21. of May. The program of the visit reaches also to the neighbouring municipality, Petäjävesi. The program is based on the Pixelache Festival 2015 – Living Spaces, organised in Helsinki in autumn 2015. The festival explored the thematics of cultural decentralisation.
From Pixelache 2015 – Living Spaces program, sound artist murmer (Estonia/US) will bring his ‘Echo Surveys’ sound art performance to Jyväskylä in Taavettila riihi (the oldest wooden building in Jyväskylä, Seminaarinkatu 15, Jyväskylä) at 17-18. All the sounds in the performance will be produced by the materials found in the Taavettila riihi or are pre-recorded in the same space. Murmer wants to create an unique and straight-forward connection to the space and the audience as well as maintain an aspect of risk or surprise in his performances. ‘Echo Surveys’ can be experienced as a performance or as a pop-in-out sound installation.
Visual artists Johanna Juvonen and Biagio Rosa lead (S)low communication -workshop in Toinila (Koulutie 8, Petäjävesi), Petäjävesi at 12 – 15. Communication and distortion of messages are explored in this open-to-all low tech art workshop. The workshop will include building slow communication tools and network from recycled materials for the Toinila art path.
Patrick McGinley (murmer) and Johanna Juvonen & Biagio Rosa talk about their work in ti-la 2016 -gallery (Kauppakatu 19, Jyväskylä) the same night at 19-21.

Pixelache 2016 – Interfaces for Empathy festival will bring program to Jyväskylä in November 2016.
