Local & Decentralised
Pixelache Festival 22-24.9.2017

After the 2015 festival that travelled through Living Spaces, and the 2016
festival delving deep into Interfaces for Empathy, Pixelache festival 2017
now gathers stories of Local & Decentralised governance. Tapping into the
shift from centralised capital-based economies to decentralised peer-based
resource distribution, we offer the festival as a meeting point for local
initiatives to share their experiences.

Local and decentralised governance seems to happen when collective design
and a tangible group effort come together. In order to materialize the
Local & Decentralised theme itself, Suvilahti hosts a model construction
site built by teams who realise the main venue of the festival from 15.9 to
21.9, during the Recycling Olympic Games 2017. These new spatial
configurations will emerge among with pre-existing DIY areas, such as the
skate-park area, to create fluid activity and discussion places for the
festival.

Oranssi ry, the empowering youth organisation takes an important role as
festival partner, hosting pre-festival events and festival activities in
their premises starting from 18.9. Furthermore, permanent Suvilahti
tenants' and Pixelache members' contributions form a significant part of
the main program.

Major developments of decentralization can and do occur: currency, energy,
resources, and feelings are being decentralised and distributed. These
developments bring about problems that cannot be solved on a purely
conceptual level; they need to be embodied and lived through for a shift to
yet different models. Thus fear of the unforeseen and unpredictable must
also be addressed.

How is it possible to express a multiplicity of will, is the present
practice of a State effective enough to convey it? Often the movements
towards local and decentralised structures are related to privatisation in
economical models; how can diverse collective interest meet on economical
terms? Can we be local and decentralised and yet be connected globally,
micro-organisms breathing within a vast complex macro system?

>From the festival activities stories emerge that depict how governance
functions between civil society, individual initiatives and government, and
also how citizens themselves coagulate into structures where governance
happens locally, and where we can come to terms with inefficiencies,
passivity, interests, time, jargon.

Local & Decentralised festival does not let you down, it will be your local
event to differentiate consensus from silence: talking of ecological
issues, promoting visual culture as a shield against pessimism, presenting
how democracy benefits from digital media -or not, playing games to prove
that we are as connected as we are, offering workshops to learn again the
pleasure of learning things together, finding music and contemporary art
that make sense more than science, and divulging science as creative as
drama.

The festival is free entrance and suitable for families.
