> How does code dream? What are the dreams of code?
>
> Piksel08 examines the other side of code, an alternative side to a  
> hard-coded
> reality of work and play. Open hardware and free software project a  
> utopic
> vision, yet exist within economies of capital, the dream factory of
> mainstream technology. Within the chance meeting of sewing machine and
> umbrella on the dissecting table, hardware and software are flattened.
>
> Piksel08: code dreams explores the dreams of this soft machine;  
> bachelors
> coding for pleasure, reverse engineering paranoiac constructs of  
> the real,
> automatic coding practice, soft hardware, and everyday magic.

> **subsections:
>
> **real code
>
> real.co.[de][re] actively explores code which has strong effects on  
> the real,
> constructing the world through prediction and description. The  
> twelve hour
> real.co.[de][re] session will attempt the active construction of a  
> working
> code model (of any form) which addresses a flattening of the  
> distinction
> between software and hardware, to resolve a new political reference  
> for real
> core code.
>
> **abstract code
>
> Abstract code is software whose results can be invisible, a software
> implementing different layers of action at the same time.
> Abstract code is a connection to parallel worlds, a poetic formula  
> dealing
> with outer forces. Code is art, its action is subtile, effective,  
> magic.
>
> procedural text
>
> maledictions, oracles, iambi, hymn, formula, refrains, hypnotic  
> sentences,
> prayers, and other.
