Piksel 05 is a workshop / festival / exhibition for people working with Open Source solutions for realtime media, mostly realtime video processing. Organized by Bergen Center for Electronic Arts (BEK), this is the third incarnation of the project. One of the most significant results (apart from networking a community of developers) has been the Piksel video framework, including the Livido and Frei0r plugin APIs. See piksel.org for details. BEK also has created their own Open Source realtime video processing software called MøB, running on Linux.

There is an open call for participation for Piksel 05, the deadline is 15 August. Only projects running on Open Source software need apply. Gisle Frøysland is one of the founders of the Piksel project, and will be speaking about this and other activities at the Generator.x conference.
