Harvestworks – Founded as a not-for-profit organization by artists in 1977, Harvestworks has helped a generation of artists create new works using technology. Our mission is to support the creation and presentation of art works achieved through the use of new and evolving technologies. Our goals are to create an environment where artists can make work inspired and achieved by electronic media; to create a responsive public context for the appreciation of new work by presenting and disseminating the finished works; to advance the art community’s and the public’s “agenda” for the use of technology in art; and to bring together innovative practitioners from all branches of the arts collaborating in the use of electronic media. We assist with commissions and residencies, production services, education and information programs, and the presentation and distribution of their work.
Galapagos Art Space — In DUMBO, Galapagos Art Space will be able to present the theater, dance, performance art, music, cinema, lectures / literary events, and the non profit fundraising that they believe is their core mission and the most important contribution they can make to their community and they will create New York City’s first LEED certified ‘green’ cultural venue.

Adventurers at heart, admirers of groundbreaking artistic directions: prepare yourselves for the eighth edition of the MUTEK Festival.
Inaugurating this Festival’s season with series of world-class events, MUTEK 2007 brings to Montreal this year over one hundred artists, many of whom arrive from the world’s corners for these five days of astonishing showcases that will surely prove unique and sophisticated. Each of these talented explorers brings to the Festival their own brand of electronic music and digital creativity; together they culminate a program at once eclectic and stimulating.
For the occasion of the very promising NOCTURNE 3 showcase, the Metropolis will host a massive two-room event to kick-start the weekend.
In the main room, several of today’s best producers bring new band projects to the stage for an energetic showcase designed to celebrate the organic side of dance music. Hotly tipped Swiss producer Kalabrese and his Rumpelorchestra bring an innovative mix of techno and funk, while superstar DJ/producer Matthew Dear previews material from his new electronic pop album with his three-piece band, Big Hands. Montreal’s The Mole keeps the evening rolling with his infectious brand of disco-soul, before joining forces mid-set with the inimitable Cobblestone Jazz (Vancouver), a three-man electronic jam band led by none of other than Mathew Jonson.
Meanwhile, over in the Savoy Lounge, eight up-and-coming experimental electronic musicians from Japan, New York, Paris, and Montreal will build a strange and fanciful soundtrack for the curious: O.Blaat, Sawako, Chika, Bubblyfish, Glomag, Decrepticon, Mec and I8U.
