Anyone going to this? Looks fairly cool. My work are paying for me to go, otherwise I'd never be able to afford Helsinki this year.
This interview suggests all sorts of demoscene pedigree (if pedigree's the right word) which I didn't know about when my boss first suggested this. Plus it's a digital art event in Finland, so there's bound to be *some* sceners involved or interested. Anyone got experience of previous Pixelaches or related events?

Futile bump. I guess nobody's going to this, but just a reminder that it's on next week in case anyone's hanging around Helsinki at a loose end.
why would your work pay you to go there? where do you work?
he works for the playboy magazine.
Blah, I forgot completely this one.
When he says "work" he's referring to the after-school club he goes to, and when he says "boss" he's referring to his dad.
Trace - at an interdisciplinary postgrad research centre at Newcastle University. Digital art, public works, mobile computing, interaction design, blah-de-blah etc. We're going, to present some stuff and participate, and some of our students are coming along too. At the very least it'll be an opportunity for some drinks and laughs, but the festival looks like it'll be fun too :)
Juhuu, the man behind Pixelache is an old-time scener and also known from Katastro.fi. Many Finnish VJ's have demoscene connections, too. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to spot sceners at Pixelache if you just keep your eyes open. :)
melw - yeah, seems so! I'll keep my eyes peeled for DD floppies and t-shirts tucked into jeans :D
i'm going to attend at least part of the program, and for sure a few other sceners are gonna be there.
Cool! I think we've only met while drunk at BP, nosfe, but I'll definitely recognise you and say hello :)
for sure we haven't met while sober at bp. ;)
reed's head and a toilet bowl were involved, but the details escape me... Gonna catch up with Truck while I'm over, anyway, and he's good at coralling people together. Might even get a chance to check out Helsinki properly.
