Since 2003 Piksel has been an annual festival for art and free software, and has developed into a major international meeting of artists and developers working on free and open source software and hardware.
For the past five years Piksel has been organized by BEK, Bergen Center for Electronic Arts. It is now decided to organize the festival as a separate and independent entity. As from May 1st 2008 Gisle Frøysland becomes director of the festival that’s currently being formally established, and from the same date he is leaving his position at BEK as director of visual arts.
During the transition BEK will continue to provide financial and organizational support for Piksel.
