PIXILERATIONS [v.7] is 11 days of exhibitions and performances using new media including interactive electronics, web technology and the moving image. This year’s fringe festival sweeps to the far reaches of the global frontier with provocative installations by Taiwanese artist Dar-Kuen Wu, Rhode Island’s Megan and Murray McMillan, and REDUX (Mark Cetilia and Joe Cantrell). Pixilerations extends its reach to new venues with performances at Firehouse 13 (Providence’s West Side), and Machines With Magnets (Pawtucket).

Part of the annual FirstWorks Festival, Pixilerations is a new media showcase curated by leading experts in the field. Local, national and international artists, selected from over 350 applicants, investigate issues ranging from the controversy around surveillance technologies to private space as commodity to the richness of digital technology as an artistic tool. Pixilerations is co-sponsored by the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and Brown University, and produced by FirstWorks.
