MUTEK returns to the heart of the Quartier des spectacles and the Mus\u00e9e d’art contemporain de Montr\u00e9al (MAC) for 5 days and nights of carefully curated performances. Emphasizing live and original expressions of contemporary electronic music and audiovisual arts, the festivities run at a breakneck pace from Wednesday, June 1 to Sunday, June 5 at various indoor and outdoor locations downtown.<\/p>\n

In a city now renowned for its electronic music culture and digital creativity, MUTEK proves once again that the festival remains a vital and vibrant frame that provides a hyper-concentrated showcase of artists from all over the world working at the vanguard of new forms and ideas. Functioning as a hub and meeting place, the festival also plugs the local and international community into a social and artistic circuit that generates revelations, new experiences, and premonitions about what is coming next. After 17 years, MUTEK still thrives on immediacy and unpredictability, on curiosity and conviviality, gathering an array of different audiences, while always creating a sense of proximity to the art and artists. With Montr\u00e9al as the backdrop, another layer of sensory stimulation is added to the experiential theatre of the whole festival.<\/p>\n
