Exhibition Parcours
TECHNO WORLDS is a Goethe-Institut exhibition that is shown in museums and other exhibition venues internationally and can be seen in Montreal at the Goethe-Institut, the Centre PHI and the Société des arts technologiques.
For its part, the Goethe-Institut has been highlighting contemporary German language and culture for 60 years by fostering strong international cultural collaborations. The SAT is a cultural hub dedicated to digital culture and has prioritized collaborative learning for 25 years. The PHI Center is a multidisciplinary institution where contemporary art and new technologies have met for 10 years now.

About the exhibition at PHI:
As a global phenomenon, techno has not only shaped the history of music, but has also had a significant influence on culture. The impulses of techno have an impact on the various fields of art, pop culture, media consumption and technology.
Techno is also an attitude towards life, which reflects particular social, economic and environmental structures.
The exhibition TECHNO WORLDS, which is touring the world, does not aim to indulge in nostalgia, but to depict visions of the future of a lifestyle culture whose adaptability and complexity have remained unique.
The works presented at the PHI Centre are inspired by the following 3 themes
- The history and sound of techno music
- Communities and networks
- Techno & design

About the exhibition at SAT:
The Society for Arts and Technology invites you to dive into the underground rave scene by taking you to the confines of its basement.
Since the 1980s, the rave scene has acted as a liberating entity for marginalized communities. Playing on the interstices between documentation and interpretation, TECHNO WORLDS offers an alternative perspective on the hidden face of these gatherings. Through a series of photographic, video and luminous installations, the exhibition reveals a subversive militancy where liberation, self-discovery and the reclamation of physical, cultural and political spaces intersect.
