Running in synergy with the festival, the 11th edition of MUTEK Forum— a platform and marketplace for bold ideas in digital creation—returns from August 20 to 22, 2025, bringing together artists, institutions, researchers, technology professionals, digital experts, and curators. Over three days, a dynamic program of talks, artist performance lectures, masterclasses, workshops, screenings, listening sessions, and networking events will highlight the most recent, innovative, and inspiring practices in digital creation, with a focus on ethical considerations and ecological sustainability in technology.

Spanning music, artificial intelligence (AI), extended reality (XR), media art, gaming, quantum computing, architecture, and design, the Forum explores the intersections of art, technology, and science, fostering new connections and ideas.

This year, the Forum introduces new formats, groundbreaking industry collaborations, and demos from AI Ecologies Lab, MUTEK’s interdisciplinary residency program to develop sustainable AI tools for the digital arts. The MUTEK Forum will also feature the MUTEK Market component, launched in 2020, which connects emerging Québec and Canadian artists with presenters from around the world, fostering opportunities for business development and international collaboration.

The first wave of speakers will be announced next month. Day passes for MUTEK Forum will go on sale this spring.

MUTEK Forum passports are now available for purchase via the MUTEK ticketing platform, including a new reduced Forum passports for students.
