**Piksel08: code dreams
   december 4-7 2008
   Bergen, Norway

How does code dream? What are the dreams of code? 

Piksel08 examines the other side of code, an alternative side to a hard-coded 
reality of work and play. Open hardware and free software project a utopic 
vision, yet exist within economies of capital, the dream factory of 
mainstream technology. Within the chance meeting of sewing machine and 
umbrella on the dissecting table, hardware and software are flattened.

Piksel08: code dreams explores the dreams of this soft machine; bachelors 
coding for pleasure, reverse engineering paranoiac constructs of the real, 
automatic coding practice, soft hardware, and everyday magic.

<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>

**open call:

**subsections:

**real code

real.co.[de][re] actively explores code which has strong effects on the real, 
constructing the world through prediction and description. The twelve hour 
real.co.[de][re] session will attempt the active construction of a working 
code model (of any form) which addresses a flattening of the distinction 
between software and hardware, to resolve a new political reference for real 
core code.

**abstract code

Abstract code is software whose results can be invisible, a software 
implementing different layers of action at the same time.
Abstract code is a connection to parallel worlds, a poetic formula dealing 
with outer forces. Code is art, its action is subtile, effective, magic.

procedural text

maledictions, oracles, iambi, hymn, formula, refrains, hypnotic sentences, 
prayers, and other.
