Québec Electric: Montreal, Mutek and the global circuit

Abstract

Les artistes et organismes de Montréal sont des acteurs importants et impliqués à une échelle globale dans un circuit de création et d'échange des musiques électroniques et de la culture numérique. Mes recherches explorent les facteurs qui permettent de faciliter la mise en place continue d'une concentration d'industries innovantes, d'art et de culture. Le festival Mutek, qui se tient tous les ans à Montréal et est inscrit dans une dynamique globale d'échanges et de diffusion, avec de fortes connexions en en Amérique Latine latine notamment, offre la possibilité d'étudier les relations particulières et nouvelles entre les festivals de niche et d'avant-garde et les villes où ils prennent place, entre les industries innovantes, la musique, l'art et la technologie, les tissus locaux et internationaux de collaborations et interconnexions, les politiques à tous les niveaux de gouvernements et les nouvelles opportunités économiques pour la culture en général. Il incarne un modèle émergent, une forme culturelle nouvelle de festival artistique et musical du 21ème siècle. Mon travail démontrera comment les politiques gouvernementales peuvent affecter mais aussi contribuer à la dynamique récente qui donne aux villes un rôle socio-culturel et économique tout en les inscrivant dans un maillage international de plus en plus sophistiqué.

Montréal-based artists and organizations are significant and deliberate players in the global creation and exchange of electronic music and digital culture. My research will explore the conditions that continue to produce a concentration of future-looking industries, arts and culture. A yearly event in Montréal with branches in South America and global circulations, the Mutek festival provides an opportunity to study the unique and emerging relationship between niche and avant-garde festivals and their cities; new industries, music, art and technology; local/global interactions and networking; policy at all levels of government and new economic opportunities for culture in general. It provides an emerging model/cultural form of a 21st century art and music festival. I intend to show how governmental policy affects the festival and contribute to recent work that casts cities in new socio-cultural and economic roles, and as part of increasingly sophisticated international networks.
