Welcome to MUTEK Forum
MUTEK Forum 2026
12th Edition — Symbiotic Frequencies
MUTEK Forum, a gathering for bold ideas in digital creativity, returns from August 26 to 28 in the Quartier des spectacles. Each summer in Montreal, the Forum brings together artists, researchers, institutions, and professionals around critical and experimental practices at the intersection of digital arts, electronic music, and emerging technologies.
Under the theme Symbiotic Frequencies, the 12th edition explores the dissolving boundaries between bodies, technologies, and ecosystems, now reconfigured into networks where AI, living systems, media, and artistic practices converge.
