Elektra_lab, new satellite event of Elektra, gets inspired by the famous 9 Evenings presented in New-York in 1966, where well-known artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, composer John Cage and choreographer Lucinda Child created a performances series in collaboration with 30 engineers from the Bells Labs.
For this very first edition, Elektra_lab brings together more than 15 renowned professionals from the fields of digitals arts and leading-edge technologies, in order to highlight the necessity of certain collaborations between artists, designers, programmers and engineers.
