Sonic Cinema, Elektra And Mutek Present Digital Quebec

BFI Southbank’s regular Sonic Cinema strand teams up with ELEKTRA and MUTEK, two vibrant organisations from Québec, to present a bold and ambitious series of live audiovisual performances, featuring 8 UK Premieres over two consecutive nights.

Dubbed Digital Québec, some of the province’s most innovative and experimental A/V creators will be presenting their work for the very first time on British soil. Acting as a continuation of the combined ELEKTRA and MUTEK 15th anniversary event EM15 presented in Montréal in May 2014, the selection of works represents the interdisciplinary intersection of music, sound and digital art where both organisations meet.

Bold installation and screen works mingle with spectacular, live audiovisual performances to showcase a range of practices that underline Québec’s artistic and technological strengths in these areas.

Also integrated into the program will be the International Marketplace for Digital Arts (IMDA), which is open to the public and free to attend. Taking place on the afternoon of Friday March 13 from 12.30pm – 5.30pm, Québec artists and organizations will demonstrate their artistic practice and related activities to the public and to an audience of selected European professionals. The aim is to encourage the circulation of artworks and to stimulate collaborations and co-productions.
