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.
