In the dynamic landscape of electronic music and digital arts, Montreal's non-profit organization MUTEK has established itself as a beacon of innovation and creativity. Since its inception in 2000, it has been dedicated to presenting live electronic music and real-time audiovisual (AV) performances, making it a rare outlet in North America for such groundbreaking innovations.

With a mission to explore the ongoing mutations and variations of contemporary digital creativity, MUTEK has evolved over the past two decades into a global phenomenon. Now celebrating its 25th year, the organization has matured while staying true to its commitment to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression, ensuring that diverse voices and perspectives are represented in its programming.

MUTEK's impact extends far beyond its home base in Montreal. With tentacles stretching across four continents and various cities, it has created an international network of festivals that share its values and mission. Each satellite event adapts MUTEK's template of values to inspire new ways of engaging with electronic and digital artistry, creating a global community of artists and enthusiasts.

Now, in its third edition, MICRO MUTEK.AE in Dubai presents an unmissable opportunity for audiences to experience the magic of MUTEK firsthand.
