History
The idea for the Pixxelpoint Festival originates in the ICQ virtual talk between present technical director of the festival Blaž Erzetič and Pavla Jarc, director of the Pixxelpoint, as well the director of the Nova Gorica Arts Centre and its Nova Gorica City Gallery.
Since 2003 themes of festivals are following concepts of the invited national guest curators; Jurij Krpan, Dunja Kukovec and Nataša Petrešin, Igor Španjol, Narvika Bovcon and Aleš Vaupotič. Last two years the italian guest curator Domenico Quranta was holding the reins of the Pixxelpoint. Concerning curators, the festival intends to work (inter)nationally further.
Mission and programme
The main ambition of the Pixxelpoint is to achieve a lively interchange of the most recent and most important art production from the field of intermedia art, to break through onto the international scene.
In 2008 the festival was featured unter the title For God's Sake! In 2009, second time curated by the Italian Quranta the festival was entitled Once Upon a Time in the West and has been reviving dead media and obsolete technologies and retrieving and rekindling their aesthetics and so was proving “the exploration of the artistic potential of new media.” Among Slovene pioneer of intermedia art Vuk Čosić and the collective BridA artist projects from more than dozen counties were presented. Some works of them are still on the veiw collected on the Festival webpage, where all 10 editions of the Pixxelpoint are documented as well.
Venue
The City Gallery Nova Gorica is since the beginning of the Pixxelpoint Festival its main venue, where the exhibition as the central event of the festival is featured. Further locations like TIR - Mostovna Gallery and some other spaces in the Italian part of Gorizia are occasionally giving the podium for the lectures, workshops, evening meetings, a symposium on the given topic, and concerts by well-known music performer. The internet as the lasting platform is of course the extra venue for some projects.
Applications
Each year the Pixxelpoint Festival guest curator, who is not just inviting artists by his/her choice, introduces a theme in the form of the international call for applications, published usually in the early summer. The majority of presented projects of the Festival are choosen out of arrived applications. The dead line for sending proposals is usually on the end of September each year.
In 2008, 28 projects has been choosen from the 113 arrived projects from 32 countries. The jubilee edition recieved even greater attention, 25 project more as in year befeore were registerd, out of which 31 projects were presented on the 10th Pixxelpoint festival.
Cooperations and Support
Beside the international curators are involved in the Festival, the Pixxelpoint has been developed to the event of transborder project, working with partners as the DAMS University – the Gorizia department of the University of Udine and the Lucide Society, and several sponsors and media sponsors. It is supported by the Nova Gorica City Municipality, the Slovenian Ministry of Culture, and by the European Union and its Phare CBC Slovenia/Italy 2003 Programme.
