MUTEK: Electronic Music and Digital Creativity Festival.

Date: 28 May - 1 Jun 2008
Venue: Montreal, Quebec

Assembling a compelling program for a festival these days is no easy 
accomplishment. The aim with MUTEK has always been to look forward, to 
imagine a future - in all its implications - where technology is the 
driving engine of aesthetic advancement. Back in 2000, this vision was 
an tangential subsection to many people, an obscurity relegated to the 
fringes of the avant-garde arts. Nine years later, digital technology is 
the driving engine of creativity at all levels. MUTEK 2008 has attempted 
to reflect the eclecticism and opportunity of this shift, with a program 
that is more diverse than ever before.

The cutting edge of international electronic music has always been this 
festival`s strong suit, and 2008 is no exception: from CRISTIAN VOGEL to 
THE FIELD, from CHLOÉ to SLEEPARCHIVE, international acts in all their 
thriving variations are represented in spades. Other artists include 
CARL CRAIG, UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE, CHRISTIAN FENNESZ, RECHENZENTRUM, 
BEN FROST, TIM HECKER, MURCOF, DEADBEAT, KODE 9 & SPACE APE
