The perspective that Pixelache’s 2016 festival Interfaces for
Empathy explores is one of empathy. The festival sets out to
engage with the question and proposal that maybe empathy could
be learned, found or especially re-found through bodily
experience and presence or experimental communication that is
not limited only in between humans. The festival embraces
embodied and alternate visions of perception that distance us
from the perceptual machines that we might be in danger of
becoming due to sense-altering medias and augmented realities.
Is it possible, through this very basic ability to sense or
identify, to change the narrative of the human-kind towards
being a more balanced part of the ecosystems we live within? The
dimension of empathy we are especially exploring in this years
festival is on microlevel; individual experience, identity and
on personal relations.<br>
<br>
The festival’s main venue is Lapinlahti former psychiatric
hospital in central Helsinki, Finland. Despite of the hospital
area’s central location in the city, it is situated close to the
sea and surrounded by big park & cemetery. There are several
indoor and outdoor spaces in the environment that used to be
part of the first psychiatric institution of Finland. The
festival also reaches out to other places in the city through
collaboration with Kiasma - the Museum of Contemporary Art and
MUU galleries.<br>
<br>
Some projects from the festival will be chosen to tour in two
other towns in Finland, Jyväskylä and Rovaniemi, in November
2016.<br>
