Trondheim Matchmaking is an arena for presentations of innovative ideas and artistic projects – a place where competence and resources within electronic arts and new technology are maintained and developed. This year the main theme of the festival is ‘MASKIN’ (Machine), and it is coordinated with NoMuTe, Nordic Music Technology Conference. As part of the festival an exhibition opens at Trøndelag Centre for Contemporary Art.

The subject of the festival relates to the possibilities and limitations that lies within the new technologies that we to an extending degree surround ourselves with. And man’s relation to them. How is this expressed within the arts, as base for ideas, and as tool for production and presentation.

The festival opens October 12th at 17.30 at Dokkhuset, and during the weekend there will be both lectures, exhibition opening (at Trøndelag Centre for Contemporary Art) and concerts. The festival finishes of with the world premiere of ’Heart Chamber Orchestra’; a concert with the artist duo ‘Terminalbeach’ and Trondheim Sinfonietta.
