Micro MUTEK.AE 2017
The international festival of digital creativity and electronic music MUTEK is coming to Dubai for the first edition of Micro MUTEK.AE, between 16-18 November 2017 in various venues across the city.
The festival was first launched in 2000 in Montréal, Canada and is now now established in Mexico City, Tokyo, Barcelona and Buenos Aires.
The Dubai edition will focus on live performances which will take place at W Dubai Al Habtoor City, A/Vision shows at Dubai Knowledge Park Auditorium, and panel talks, workshops and Digi_Labs at SAE Institute. The headline acts include Jeff Mills and Dasha Rush, along 15 with local and regional artists.
“We’re bringing MUTEK to Dubai because we see the deep potential and interest from people in enriching the city’s music, art and digital culture, which is still in its early stages. We’d also like to shift the emphasis away from clubbing and partying in Dubai and offer a new perspective on the way electronic music and audiovisual practices can be profound, inspiring and revelatory.
MUTEK’s format and curatorial philosophy, with its commitments to local artistic communities in every city it exists, intersects perfectly with this mission. It is going to challenge and inspire them to join this global community with a statement.” Mehdi Ansari, MUTEK.AE Director and co-founder of Analog Room
