Mutek Montreal present their audiovisual event programme in a special hybrid format as part of their edition 21.
This is a world of constant evolution and incessant refinement – the “MU” in MUTEK refers consciously to the notion of “mutation”.

Year 2020. Needless to say this applies to the “special” year we are all experiencing, dare to say, more than any other year…

The 21st edition of MUTEK is happening. Following MUTEK SF NEXUS in May, the digital creativity festival is mutating into a hybrid edition.
We find this original format with both physical and virtual events to be an interesting experimental adaptation to the Covid outbreak.
Through September 8th-13th we will attend numerous events across 3 virtual stages with more than 60 performances, an interactive Gallery featuring more than 20 VR, AI, video and audio artworks, an Auditorium of master classes and lectures, and a MUTEK archives Listening Room.
The festival will include 19 world premiers and the participation of more than a 100 artists.
On top of the wide online programme accesible worldwide for free (with one and only requirement: internet connection), there will be physical offline events across the MUTEK network locations through MUTEK Connect in Montréal, Mexico City, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, San Francisco and Tokyo.
Physical events include:
