Edition 2012
MUTEK, the premiere festival of digital creativity and electronic music kicked off its 13th edition with carefully curated programme including 130 performers including 3 world premieres and 15 North American Premieres. From the avant-garde frontiers of audio-visual experimentation to the communal thrills of festive nightlife, the 13th edition of MUTEK ran from May 30 to June 3rd. The festival built upon its well-known five-day trajectory to deliver the most exclusive performances in electronic music and digital creativity. In 2012, MUTEK offered three world premieres, fourteen North American premieres, and ten Canadian premieres, many of them by artists who had only collaborated together a handful of times in the past. That fact alone, coupled with news that the festival took over new venues for both daytime and nighttime events, reaffirms that the festival was, now more than ever, intimately woven into the city’s cultural fabric and public spheres. From May 30 to June 3rd, digital culture aficionados, industry professionals, inquisitive minds, and families alike were invited to take full advantage of the cutting-edge digital playground that is MUTEK.
