An annual festival of digital creativity and electronic music in Montreal MUTEK was conceived as a “point of convergence” for experimental artists and musicians. Their mission statement explains that their programming,

“intends to create a sonic space that can support innovation in new electronic music and digital art. This is a world of constant evolution and incessant refinement – the “MU” in MUTEK refers consciously to the notion of “mutation”.

The not-for-profit organization achieves this through a variety of initiatives including the festival itself but also a record label, tours, international events and showcases in Montreal.

Dorkbot is a worldwide movement characterised by regular open community meetings under the principles of open access, hacking, experimentation, making, community art practice, and collaboration. The Sydney chapter tends to be led by (but not limited to) art practitioners and characterised by an interests in installation, sound and projection experiments.

Cited from the Dorkbot Sydney website, Dorkbot aims:

‘To bring people together from different fields who are interested in doing strange things with electricity; be you artist, engineer, musician, electrician, software developer, hermit, whatever. Regular meetings pose as an opportunity for public discussion, peer review and exploration of ideas, experiments and finished works and also to solidify and invite growth, encouragement and collaboration in a community of curious people.’ Dorkbot Sydney is generally held the last TUESDAY of the month.. Dorkbot Sydney is a non-profit organization and so it is free to come and be a member of the audience or make a presentation although we welcome donations to help with the basic costs of running the event.
