International Digital Art Biennial - ELEKTRA

This year ELEKTRA will offer a new Montréal and international cultural event on an unmatched scale, with the 4th edition of the International Digital Art Biennial (BIAN), which will take place from June 15 to September 16, and the 19th ELEKTRA festival, from June 12 to 17 at Arsenal art contemporain, a renowned Montréal cultural venue recognized for the high standards of its programming.

Under the theme AUTOMATA – Chante le corps électrique. The featured installations will raise current questions about the sociocultural implications of new relationships to the body in a world increasingly populated by artificial and adaptive agents. The 2018 BIAN opus will honour Germany by welcoming guest curator Peter Weibel, artist and director of the ZKM – Zentrum für kunst und medien Karlsruhe (Centre for Art and Media Karlsruhe). The 12th edition of MIAN will return on June 14 and 15. MIAN is ELEKTRA’s professional component. It welcomes major players from the international digital scene to stimulate the international reach of our artists and encourage new collaborations. Its cultural and economic spinoffs are significant, multiplying the presentation of many Canadian works outside the country since its beginnings.
