Performing Captured Data

PIFcamp, 10. julij ― Performing Captured Data is an experimental process that artist Citlali Hernández has been developing through her artistic practice. The project traces personal data digitally captured by dominant corporate systems, focusing on gestures such as likes, scrolling, and clicks – small bodily movements translated into information that typically feeds systems of identification. It explores how this … Continue reading Performing Captured Data

Biodata – When Plants and Fungi cocreate Music and Digital Art

PIFcamp, 8. julij ― What is Biodata?Biodata is an open-source hardware and software device, originally created by Sam Cusumano and continuously developed by MolinoLab, that translates the natural bioelectrical signals of living organisms (plants, fungi, animals) into real-time MIDI data. By placing electrodes on their bodies, the device detects subtle changes in electrical conductivity – triggered by factors such … Continue reading Biodata – When Plants and Fungi cocreate Music and Digital Art

Situated Time-Telling Devices

PIFcamp, 6. julij ― What is the technical functioning behind a clock and how could we attune ourselves to other means of time-framing? This project aims to experiment with the construction of time-telling devices in order to understand how we might relate differently to time. Our bodies are attuned to clock time – a precise rhythm based on the … Continue reading Situated Time-Telling Devices

Cassette-Net

PIFcamp, 3. julij ― In this project, authors Jakob Lavrič and Matjaž Pogačnik will recycle, modify and upgrade vintage cassette players that will record and play back sound onto a shared magnetic tape. In this way, information will travel between multiple stations located several meters apart, connecting the sounds and local ambiences of different areas of PIFcamp. Through loops … Continue reading Cassette-Net

A Thneed’s a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need!

PIFcamp, 1. julij ― Inspired by an online meme comparing the Thneed – a textile object from Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax, capable of serving as a shirt, a sock, a glove, a hat, or almost anything imaginable, but whose production completely destroys the forest of Truffula trees from which it is made – to artificial intelligence, Dasha Ilina set … Continue reading A Thneed’s a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need!

Record Keeping by Sid Drmay

PIFcamp, 29. junij ― How does one document an event that thrives in the ephemeral? During PIFcamp I will be aiming to do this through the creation of a zine that will seek to uncover the histories and experiences of PIF. Zines exist in a strange ephemeral way, much like PIF, they are rarely archived or preserved for the … Continue reading Record Keeping by Sid Drmay

Antennae

PIFcamp, 26. junij ― The project builds on a line of research into electronic organisms, now situated within the context of a natural ecosystem. Antonín Kindl is interested in how technology can operate within a landscape in a way that does not create a separate, additional layer, but instead becomes an integral part of the systems in which it … Continue reading Antennae

Rhythm Generation in Live Coding

PIFcamp, 24. junij ― Blaž Pavlica will continue his work on a project developed last year: a system for rhythm generation in live coding. He plans to implement several improvements, including adapting the syncopation calculation algorithm so that it functions in any meter, enhancing the base rhythm generation process to produce a greater number and variety of rhythms, refining … Continue reading Rhythm Generation in Live Coding

Off-grid (continues): DIY prototyping for energy efficiency

PIFcamp, 22. junij ― Off-grid is a DIY workshop following on the topic of energy awareness introduced by PIFresidents Bernhard Rasinger and Uroš Veber in 2025: How’s energy produced and distributed? Do our daily habits affect energy consumption? At what price does energy come? To give answers to some of these questions, a speculative smart device called “the black … Continue reading Off-grid (continues): DIY prototyping for energy efficiency

O Noisy Daughter of the Mountains!

PIFcamp, 19. junij ― The Soča River is certainly good at making noise. But what does it take to make it play some tunes? Approximately one artist-curator (Jani Pirnat), one designer-artist (Tamara Lašič Jurković), a pile of leftover construction materials, a bunch of bouncing ideas, and a pinch of trial and error. Jani and Tamara aren’t musicians, nor are … Continue reading O Noisy Daughter of the Mountains!

Spectrum by Omar Mashaal

PIFcamp, 17. junij ― Spectrum is a Digital Eurorack module for intuitive microtonal sequencing. It bypasses standard MIDI constraints, enabling real-time EDO (Equal Division of the Octave) modulation through a high-precision trackball and mechanical keyswitch interface. The design facilitates neurodiverse melody through organic, improvisational workflows. It features dynamic EDO scaling and a “thumbing” mode (popularized by Toto’s Steve Porcaro) … Continue reading Spectrum by Omar Mashaal

BioCyberdeck – A Portable Listening Station

PIFcamp, 15. junij ― BioCyberdeck is a portable art-science mini laboratory for exploring the electrical properties of living organisms. The project draws its idea from the cybernetic culture of DIY cyberdecks – standalone, purpose-built devices designed to perform specific tasks. While cyberdecks in the classical sense were conceived for accessing digital networks and information systems, BioCyberdeck opens an interface … Continue reading BioCyberdeck – A Portable Listening Station

The Energy Scavenger Lab

PIFcamp, 12. junij ― The Energy Scavenger Lab is a hands-on workshop that invites participants to hunt for electricity hidden in everyday environments. Through a series of practical experiments, attendees explore piezoelectric, solar, thermoelectric (Peltier) and radio-frequency energy harvesting techniques, building simple prototypes and testing how much energy can be captured from movement, heat, light and ambient electromagnetic waves. … Continue reading The Energy Scavenger Lab

Inner Textures — Weaving Sonic Experiences

PIFcamp, 10. junij ― Inspired by the poetics of plants and fungi interacting with electricity, Inner Textures explores the threshold between the tactile and the sonic, the material and the immaterial. In this workshop, you’ll learn to weave on a laser-cut back-strap loom, combining plant-based and animal yarns with conductive fibers to create textiles that respond to touch. Guided by Zoe Romano‘s … Continue reading Inner Textures — Weaving Sonic Experiences

Serial Drama Lab

PIFcamp, 8. junij ― Serial Drama Lab by Sabina Suru operates at a crossover between a collective therapy session and a qualitative research focus group. It is designed to map the psychological and artistic coping mechanisms we deploy when confronted with technological failure. Rather than treating technical breakdowns as mere engineering bugs to be resolved, this lab investigates the feraldynamics of … Continue reading Serial Drama Lab
