Next month, Pittsburgh will host Via 2010, a new festival that aims to showcase musicians, DJs, and producers "blurring genres of electronic music alongside artists working at the forefront of video, game design, and live music visualization."
The Iron City Brewery and satellite locations will present more than 12 hours of performances/installations from both local and international artists across three days. Via 2010 will also have an online presence with demos, forums, and a livestream of the event at its site.
Along with indie darling/rapper Freddie Gibbs and huge electronica names like Matthew Dear and D�m-Funk, the festival will feature Canadian experimental game group Kokoromi Collective, which organizes events like the recent Gamma IV one-button challenge at GDC 2010.
Kokoromi Collective is slated to bring two games to show off at Via 2010, 3D puzzler Super HyperCube (pictured, co-developed with Fez developer Polytron/Phil Fish) and ][ Games' tro-player music title I Have Big Balls.
You can buy tickets and find more information for Via 2010, which will run October 1-3, at the festival's official site.
