Montreal, October 1-3 2015
The second edition of MUTEK_IMG is presented in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Montréal and the Phi Centre! Conceived as a complementary event to the annual festival in the spring, MUTEK_IMG is a forum that emphasizes visuality in the digital creation milieu and rallies both artists and professionals.
As the centrepiece of this edition, Virtual Reality (VR) is considered the next platform in experiential technology, and brings together visionary research, innovative technologists, multimedia artistic creators and adventurous production and distribution companies. Its rise as a creative, technological and industry force in the last year has been meteoric.
Mixing paid and free activities over 3 days at the Phi Centre, MUTEK_IMG offers an introduction to the fundamentals of VR for the general public and free access to more than 20 new works of VR cinema and experience.
As with the first edition of MUTEK_IMG, the rest of this year’s program embraces innovative formats of creation and intervention, like mapping, hacking, and interactive art. Several international speakers including German artists JULIAN OLIVER and MATTHIAS STRUBEL (PirateBox), will be leading workshops thanks to a special partnership with the Goethe-Institut Montréal, and participating in a panel discussion on the topic of identity surveillance and alternative networks, presented in collaboration with Eastern Bloc.
MUTEK is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination and development of digital creativity in sound, music, and audio-visual art. MUTEK’s principal activity is the annual presentation of its namesake festival, which has taken place in Montreal since 2000.
