The [[Pixxelpoint International Festival of Contemporary Art Practices]], organised by [[Nova Gorica Arts Centre]], was launched in [[Established::2000]]. Previously focused on computer art and up until 2016 going under the name International Festival of Computer Art, the festival is now running a broad focus that intermingles contemporary technologies (computer ones as well as others) with art, science and various societal practices.
The eight days lasting the [[Pixxelpoint International Festival of Computer Art]], organised by [[Nova Gorica Arts Centre]], was launched in [[Established::2000]] and presents each year approximately 30 digital artworks from around the world, selected by the (inter)national guest curator. The aim of the Pixxelpoint Festival, which attracted over 3000 visitors last years, is to transfer computer art into real space and link artists from different backgrounds and territories.

The [[Nova Gorica City Gallery]] traditionally hosts the main exhibitions. Further locations such as [[TIR - Mostovna Gallery]] and some other spaces in Nova Gorica as well as the neighbouring Italian city of Gorizia host lectures, workshops, evening meetings, symposium on a given topic, and music concerts by well-known music performers. The ''internet'' – as a "lasting" platform – is also the venue for some projects.

The Pixxelpoint International Festival of Contemporary Art Practices, organised by Nova Gorica Arts Centre, was launched in 2000. Previously focused on computer art and up until 2016 going under the name International Festival of Computer Art, the festival is now running a broad focus that intermingles contemporary technologies (computer ones as well as others) with art, science and various societal practices.

The Nova Gorica City Gallery traditionally hosts the main exhibitions. Further locations such as TIR - Mostovna Gallery and some other spaces in Nova Gorica as well as the neighbouring Italian city of Gorizia host lectures, workshops, evening meetings, symposium on a given topic, and music concerts by well-known music performers. The internet – as a "lasting" platform – is also the venue for some projects.
