haunting futures, cyborgs and test subjects is a collection of selected audio works for Pixelache Festival 2021, curated by festival co-director Laura Gustafsson:
This playlist goes under my skin. For me, Aistė Laisvė Viršulytė’s work speaks of the horrors of in vivo testing, or vivisection – regardless of the species of the test subject. Swan Meat (whose concert I wish to witness live someday!) takes Donna Haraway’s ideas of Chthulucene and grotesques as a framework for her elegantly layered sonic essay. From mythological views we bump into Boris Getaz’s essayistic collage that carries on with questioning human belief in technology. The work mixes various time layers, not in an anachronistic way but so that it comes clear that even though our gadgets have changed a bit, we, as a species, haven’t really evolved that much. In her experimental sound work Ida Nerbø mixes organic sounds, such as wind, with the unnatural. I recognize and identify with the words in the description she sent: “the sense of facing something alien and intruding, yet intriguing”.
-- Laura Gustafsson, Pixelache co-director

hACkathon is a multifaceted project, produced for and executed during Pixelache Festival 2021 (2021/06/06-13).
The project encourages individuals to dissemble, examine, hack and repurpose discarded or functional air-conditioning units for the purpose of giving them the added passive functionality of extracting carbon from the atmosphere. Through research conducted for hACkathon, a methodology was discovered that can be applied to all types of AC units. This method is explained in detail during the 30 minute long hACkathon radio program, where the host - Justin Tyler Tate - walks participants through a process of designing and building their own parasitic passive carbon capture devices to augment their air conditioning units using readily available materials and processes. As Individuals cool their spaces in the increasingly hotter summer months, they will also be passively capturing carbon and offsetting their ecological footprint.
