MUTEK_NEWS #2

Planning for MUTEK's second edition continues, and a very exciting program
is taking shape. All details will be released in April.

The FINAL CONFIRMED DATES for MUTEK 2001 are May 30th to June 3rd. This
waltz of dates caused many concerns but in the end, this time slot will be
beneficial for all. 

In terms of venues, two evenings will take place at Ex-Centris.  We are
also finalising a partnership with the Society for Arts and Technology
(SAT) which will host a part of the program in its new location on
St-Catherine Street, a highly inspiring and unconventional space.  

Following the February 9th success of MICRO 1, featuring Kit Clayton,
Monolake and Deadbeat, the MICRO_MUTEK series will return in April. MICRO 2
will take place over two evenings, April 6th and 7th, in the Fellini
theatre at Ex-Centris (3536, St-Laurent blvd.). We will have the honour of
welcoming back many of the artists that marked the 2000 edition of MUTEK,
to present their most recent works. These two evenings of new media
performances, based on sound and visual experimentation will feature:

April 6 - MICROSOUNDS
Richard Chartier - Washington
Taylor Deupree - New York
Kim Cascone - San Francisco

April 7 - OACIS.optics acoustics calculated in seconds
Noto (Carsten Nicolai) - Berlin
Komet (Frank Bretschneider) - Berlin
Byetone (Olaf Bender) - Berlin 

A more detailed press release on MICRO 2 will be issued within 10 days.
Tickets will be available starting March 26. Admission is 20$ per night, or
30$ for both nights.
