** MUTEK.MX (April 13-17, Mexico) **
==============================
MUTEK spices things up!!! The spirit of MUTEK knows no boundaries as the Festival sets up shop in Mexico between April 13th and 17th for the 1st edition of MUTEK.MX.
Born out of MUTEK's participation at the Voila Quebec en Mexico! event in the fall of 2003, MUTEK.MX is the second festival organized abroad for MUTEK (the first was MUTEK.CL festival which took place in Chile in January 2004).
Organized through the collaboration between teams in Mexico and Montreal, notably with respect to content, this inaugural edition of the Mexico festival embodies the character and the formula of the Montreal festival model. The rich, yet condensed 4-day program will feature 42 artists from more than ten countries -including 9 from Canada- and will take place at various venues around Mexico City.
Encompassing performances and a series of conferences, MUTEK.MX will act as the framework for a constructive exchange between artists and professionals involved in digital and electronic creation. To this effect, MUTEK.MX presents a unique platform for the genre in Latin America.
Among the artists participating in the festivities:
Alvaro Ruiz _ Mexico
Andy Vaz _ Germany
Antena _ Mexico
Antiguo Automata Mexicano _ Mexico
Ark _ France
Cabanne _ France
Danieto _ Chile
Emisor _ Argentina
Gustavo Lamas _ Argentina

Summarily, it's a heady mixture, which combines many MUTEK discoveries from over the past few years under one banner for the pure enjoyment of the general public.
Thanks to a project implemented in collaboration with Tourisme Quebec, the local festivalgoers will have the chance to win a trip for two to Montreal to attend the 6th edition of MUTEK, along with a MUTEK_PASSPORT for the festival!
The event will be closely observed by a unit of the Montreal team, who'll be on site for the occasion. The Canadian and Quebec participation will have been made possible thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts, l'Office Quebec Amerique pour la jeunesse and the Ministere des relations internationales du Quebec.
