So what is MUTEK all about you may ask? MUTEK is a new art forms festival that started in 2000 in Montreal. Many years a partner of New Forms, Mutek is about exploring the relation between music, technology and visual composition, with many artists featuring video-visual work as a part of their performance. Mutek is also distinctly Canadian as the North American answer to Spain’s Sonar festival in Barcelona.
Our two guests acts are core mebers of MUTEK and we're very excited to have them here as part of a MUTEK West tour.
