> The biggest ever new media culture event ISEA2004 will bring a team of
> MUTEK (Canada) artists to Helsinki, Tallinn and aboard the amazing
> cruiser
> ferry connecting these two harbour cities this August. MUTEK (
> http://www.mutek.ca) celebrates its fifth edition in the beginning of
> June;
> the Montreal-based organisation and festival dedicated to digital
> culture
> and audio/visual creation was launched in 2000 as a yearly festival.
>
> The MUTEK/ISEA2004 collaboration begins at the Koneisto festival for
> electronic music and arts (http://www.koneisto.com), also organised
> for the
> fifth time in Helsinki, Finland. On August 14th, live performances by
> MUTEK
> artists Crackhaus and Akufen will definitely crack the house!
>
> The collaboration continues during the ISEA2004 cruise (August
> 15th-17th)
> from Helsinki to Stockholm, and on to Tallinn. On the Silja Opera ferry
> AKUFEN, DEADBEAT, DR P(R)AXIL, DJ NEUROM and DJ MUTEK take over the
> club
> venues for astonishing gigs. For instance Akufen, found worldwide on
> DJ top
> ten charts with releases by TRAPEZ, BACKGROUND, TRAUM and FORCE INC.
> etc.,
> has been described as the missing link between reinventions of new
> techno
> and house. On the ferry, Akufen will play 'Music for Pregnancy'- a work
> inspired by several of his female friends becoming pregnant roughly the
> same time! Selections of this music were played some time ago at Tate
> Modern, London.
