“MANITOBA ELECTRONIC MUSIC EXHIBITION OF TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION & CREATIVITY”
MEMETIC is dedicated to the dissemination and development of digital creativity in sound, music, and audio-visual art. Our mandate is to provide a platform for the most original and visionary artists currently working in their fields, with the intent of providing an outlet of initiation and discovery for our audiences.
MEMETIC has a specific focus on Manitoban musicians and artists and also creates links to international networks promoting electronic music artists from Manitoba to the rest of the World.
MEMETIC’s workshops and clinics intend to create a sonic space that can support innovation in new electronic music and digital art. New for 2021 MEMETIC is launching MEME 2.0 featuring an online conference with guest speakers and workshops with a general theme of innovation, resilience, sustainability & science.
For each edition of our annual festival & conference we will choose an overall theme related to our expanded vision with the goal of cross pollinating the often separate scenes of music & sustainability.
Moving beyond a music & digital arts festival MEMETIC, is now seeking to connect the lines between creativity, innovation, community building & sustainability.
