Mutek, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to digital creativity in sound, music, and audio-visual art, will be creating a special installation at Quoz Arts Fest to raise awareness on the impacts of the climate crisis. The data-driven interactive installation by Amir B. Ash will explore how increasing temperatures will change the world we live in—potentially beyond recognition.

Mutek’s principal activity is the annual presentation of its namesake festival, which has taken place in Montreal since 2000. Since its first edition, the Mutek festival has distinguished itself as an international rendezvous for original and avant-garde programming. In terms of content, the festival’s range strives to be diverse, with interests in both the experimental and the playful sides of digital creativity.

Over the years, the Mutek festival has presented a considerable number of renowned artists while simultaneously providing an important showcase for up-and-coming talent. Each edition offers a notable array of Canadian, North American, and even international premieres.
