The HTMlles Festival [17-21 Oct]
The HTMlles Festival http://www.htmlles.net, Montreal's biennial, international, interdisciplinary arts event is back for its 8th edition showcase of activist, new media and cyber-feminist artwork! This fall, CROWD CONTROL, the HTMlles' newest theme, investigates social, political, territorial, personal, and conceptual mobility.
CROWD CONTROL will be expressed through an explosion of critical and thought-provoking artwork by over 25 women (and men too!) artists and theorists engaged in contemporary creative technologies. The four-day long renowned fest will feature cutting-edge digital media and performance-based artwork which seek their meaning in the simultaneity and immediacy of networks and digital communications. Join us in a variety of captivating public discussions, workshops and interventions, and come to our electric closing party!
As a project of Montreal's first feminist digital resource center, StudioXX, the festival supports cyber-feminist analysis, and creates a site for international artistic convergence.

You will also meet our newly recruited Émilie Houssa, who is contributing a critical piece on "the image", as seen from the lens of Paris and French politics. Texts by Adriene Jenik and Helen Varley Jamieson will explore new narrative forms of cyberperformance and other tools of communication.
In this issue we will also introduce a new chronicle, entitled /Actualité/, which will take us into the Montreal metro, where the multi-sensory installation /Breaking Point/ will soon be open to the public.
