GOTO10 collective has been invited to design some parts of the Pixelache 2010 programme. The preliminary plan is to organise a seminar about FLOSS+Art and to present an exhibition featuring software art.

Yesterday the exhibition chmod +x opened in Sign gallery, Groningen. The works exhibited are “love2″ by Wayne Clements, “island2″ by Martin Howse, “Microcodes” by Pall Thayer and “Class Library” by Graham Harwood. The exhibition presents works that use the computer as a space for social revolution, as location, an ungraspable island that slowly transmits itself to other computers, as actor, mimicking other machines. Executable language, thoughts, ideas and actions translated into code that can be interpreted and executed by a machine. Each of the works show aspects of our relation and history with computers. Even though for non-programmers it might at first be hard to approach the code and the processes it describes, there are fascinating stories to be found.
You can visit chmod +x art at sign in Groningen until the 7th of March.

Craftivism is an Arnolfini/Relational contemporary art project that responds to the resurgent interest in craft as it relates to socially-engaged art practice. It involves fourteen projects developed by artists and collectives that work with craft-based traditions and activist practices, and who employ the tactics of ‘craftivism’ (combining crafting + activism) to question and disrupt the prevailing codes of mass consumerism.
The project attempts to collapse the distinction between ‘making’ and ‘doing’ – the former associated with craft, the latter with human action. It places an emphasis on interaction and participation in the wider social realm, and employs aspects of self-organisation and ‘open- source’ principles. The artists involved engage with craft-based traditions through diverse practices including art, technology and fashion. Selected works exemplify ‘innovation’ in the general sense that newly invented forms might diverge from established rules and perceived norms.
Craftivism is developed in relation to a range of contexts and includes nine artist-led participatory projects developed with local
communities, the outcomes of which are shown as part of a gallery-based interactive exhibition, online and in free software-related
projects, workshops, talks and the uncurated satellite event UnCraftivism. Events also take place locally at Brandon Hill Park,
Colston Hall, Full Circle St. Paul’s Youth and Family Centre, Knowle West Media Centre and The Mall Bristol.
The project will invite public interaction and provide opportunities to take part, make work and learn craft-based skills to customise
products. It encourages wider communities to embrace the ‘freedom’ to create, modify and distribute products, and in so doing demonstrates the possibilities for people to modify their own lives.
Craftivism is part of the Artist/Activist season, a series of Arnolfini projects in Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 which provides a
socially-active forum for debate and learning around issues of climate change and alternatives to the culture of consumerism.

/mode +v noise is an intense 3 day workshop for up to 10 participants, looking at how to build an Internet chat based music platform.
The workshop will give you the opportunity to create your own software sound synthesiser and different chat bots that will be used to manipulate and turn your chat into a music score. To achieve this, we will use free software such as Python, Supercollider, Puredyne, Emacs and more!
The workshop is aimed at participants with basic experience in programming, scripting, or markup languages, even if it’s just (X)HTML/CSS. You do not have to be an experienced programmer, but if you are, that’s good too. As long as you are not afraid to work in a terminal, you’ll be fine! In general, we are looking for people who have already experienced the “culture shock” of using plain text to
describe a process and want to take this further or discover creative programming using free software. The workshop will be adapted to the participants’ experience and profiles, but do not hesitate to contact us for extra details or if you are not sure you will fit. You will go home with the software and code you wrote during the workshop, and encouraged to share it and develop it further!
Email frances.bossom@arnolfini.org.uk with your applications. Places will be allocated on the basis of the strength of the case you make to take part.
DEADLINE: 16 November.
Notification of outcome: 21 November.
At the end of the workshop, everything will be left on site in the gallery and available online as part of the Craftivism exhibition at Arnolfini (12 December 2009 – 14 February 2010).
