COCKTAIL | CCA + MUTEK = COMPOSITE #40

MUTEK, in collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), is honoured to host the 40th edition of Composite, presented by the Conseil des arts de Montréal and MAPP_MTL. Hosted by Claudine Hubert, Director - People North America, TAIT, this event beckons all digital creatives to come together for an evening of inspiration and connection.

Composite is a quarterly networking event dedicated to fostering digital creativity. Originally conceived by the Conseil des arts de Montréal, each event is organized by a different cultural organization in collaboration with a digital arts company. The event aims to create a recurring meeting space for the art world, research hubs, and digital industries, encouraging creators, organizations, businesses, and professionals to meet and generate new ideas.

Each Composite event features a "Blitz Minute Inspiration," where 10 digital innovators each share a one-minute project that has impacted them. This is followed by six keynote presentations, each 6 minutes long, of pre-selected projects from various fields, including art, research, industry, and social innovation. These projects are chosen for their ability to inspire and stimulate innovation. The evening concludes with networking and discussions, allowing presenters and participants to forge new connections and expand their projects.
