Elektra, a high-calibre Montreal-based cultural initiative, presents artists and works of art that align the latest electronic music and visual creations derived from new technologies (animation, installation and robotics). Elektra unites creative media like music, video, cinema, design, gaming and audio or interactive installation with the latest digital technologies. Artists from all disciplines – composition, performance, dance, visual arts, etc. – all with a common interest in artistic applications of new technologies, uniting visual and sound. Elektra not only welcomes artists from all over the world, the festival also features local talents, helping make Montreal the North American meeting place for digital arts.

Eco-friendly Actions List

Production:

Email rather than print

Use FTP for your file exchange

Use a USB key/Ipod instead of CD’s to carry your files

Use webcam/videoconferencing (or skyping) instead of flying

Shooting:

Instead of buying water bottles, buy reusable bottles for your team and filter your water in the office or buy local bio-degradable water bottles.

Distribution:

Use online distribution

Office:

Purchase post-consumer recycled paper, print on both sides of your paper or use a double-sided printer

Shut your computer every day, it doesn’t harm it at all, and the energy saved at a large scale will be of a great impact (no, a screen saver is not an energy saver)

Pull the plug on electronics and chargers; even though your electronics are not on, they still use energy when they are plugged

Use only fair-trade organic coffee, tea and sugar and use a cloth coffee filter
