The MUTEK Autumn season kicked off this year with the 5th edition of  
the MUTEK.MX festival in Mexico City. The MUTEK team along with  
invited Canadian artists traveled to Mexico to enjoy performances in  
several interesting venues around the city (you can read more about  
it later in the newsletter).

Now back in Montreal, we are fully involved in preparing for our 10th  
anniversary edition of MUTEK taking place from May 27th to 31st in  
2009. Our team is working hard on this special edition. Two new  
people have been added to our organization, bringing their passion  
and experience to MUTEK.

Communications. Living in Québec for a year and a half now, she has

in. She has been involved in other cultural events in Montréal  
including: the 24th edition of the Vues d'Afrique film festival and

integration was smooth and rapid.

FEEDBACK ON THE 5TH EDITION OF MUTEK.MX

Part of the MUTEK movement and presenting the same type of cultural  
programming, the MUTEK.MX festival took place this year from October  
23rd to the 26th in Mexico City. From the theatres and casino in the  
historic centre of the city, to the enormous warehouse redesigned for  
the event, the several eclectic venues for MUTEK.MX pushed the  
boundaries this year.

Several artists from Québec accompanied the MUTEK Montréal team and  
we all enjoyed a well-constructed and energetic program that  
showcased a wide range of high-quality performances. We would  
especially like to highlight the outstanding performances by several  
Mexican artists: NORTEC, CUBENX, FAX, ALGORYTHM & BLUES and LATINSIZER.

During the event, MUTEK Montréal, in partnership with the MINISTRY OF  
TOURISM QUÉBEC and CANAL 22, organized a contest for two lucky people  
to win passes for the next MUTEK in Montréal in 2009 including free  
transportation and accommodation. We would like to thank our two  
partners for this interest in MUTEK. Congratulations to our winners  
ANDREA PADILLA and ENRIQUE CASTILLO!

We would like to thank and to congratulate all the members of the  
MUTEK.MX team for this remarkable 5th edition. Despite the  
limitations MUTEK.MX experienced this year due to the international  
financial crisis, it's clear that the festival is an essential and  
active element that helps develop its local art scene and position  
Mexico on the international circuit.

===================================
RASTER-NOTON IN SOUTH-AMERICA


Great explorers of the minimal electronic sound, the Raster-Noton  
collective toured South-America for the first time in October.  
CARSTEN NICOLAI and OLAF BENDER performed in Brazil, Argentina,  
Uruguay and Chile, while FRANK BRETSCHNEIDER joined the tour for  
their last event in Mexico.

Their South American included two MUTEK-related events. The first was  
an event in Santiago, co-presented by MUTEK_CHILE and the second was  
a Raster-Noton showcase at the MUTEK.MX festival in Mexico City. The  
tour was a complete success, to an extent that surprised even the  
artists themselves. The tour was documented on the following blog:
