mission

mandate of the organization (acreq)

ACREQ is an organization interested in making links between electronic music and other visual media. This organization presents the latest aesthetic currents in artistic practice with new technologies at their core. Refusing to be bound by the boundaries created by various schools or styles in the domain, ACREQ mission is to promote only the highest quality work. Robotics, digital imagery and music varying from electroacoustic to electronic come together. Add to this mix a desire to attract a wider audience, to democratise and make this culture more accessible while satisfying specialists with more particular interests.
