Since then, taking advantage of each edition of the festival in different countries, MUTEK Connect, presents an extensive virtual program of recorded live shows -in a hybrid format- and a gallery of digital artworks. This has already provided more than 100 artists and professionals with an opportunity to expand audiences, share experiences with other creative communities and generate new exhibition opportunities.

Connect MUTEK Montréal

Guillaume Coutu Dumont (CA/QC) / JUMP CUT #2 (Marie Davidson + Dana Gingras + Sabrina Ratté) (CA/QC/FR) / Line Katcho (CA/QC) / OBUXUM (CA) / Ouri (CA/QC/FR)

From Montreal comes a program that mixes the musical shows of Guillaume Coutu Dumont and OBUXUM, a powerful audiovisual show by Line Katcho or the electro acoustic performance of Ouri.

The program will present the second episode of the JUMP CUT project, a web series of six streaming collaborations between international multidisciplinary artists. Conceived by Dana Gingras / Animals of Distinction as a way to survive and thrive in these times.

JUMP CUT #2
will feature Montreal artist Marie Davidson, Quebec video artist Sabrina Ratté and Montreal choreographer and dancer Dana Gingras. Treating the body as a living sculpture, the emphasis will be on capturing the minutiae of movement and transforming the human body into a virtual body through augmented reality techniques. This digital transformation process will then dialogue with sound to create an experimental audiovisual creation.

Connect MUTEK México

CNDSD & Iván Abreu (MX) / Jiony & Sabme (MX) / Nohbords & AA MX - DORJE (MX) / Pepe Mogt - Magia Awi (MX)

The program features Jiony mixing nu jazz to Latin music in a flourishing techno and trip-hop base that is complemented by the surrealism, geometry and dreamlike symbols manifested in Sabme's creations. 'Desierta', an intense display of live cinema coding of musical aesthetics that hybridizes introspective landscapes, noise glitch and intricate rhythms written live by CNDSD with graphics of 3D spaces intervened with generative animation, real-time video synthesis and expressive light control programmed by Abreu.

Pepe Mogt proposes his live performance of ambient music, electronic rhythms, kraut beats and monolithic illuminations, a project inspired by the Yuman legend of the serpent Maija Awi, founding myth of the Kumiai people. The contemporary dance project Nohbords directed by Diego Mur combines with the visual adventures of artist Andrés Arochi to translate this sum of body exercises and choreographic compositions into a stimulating intervention of immersive melancholy that Sebastián Lechuga floods with the sonic nuances of his compositions.
