Pera Museum’s talk and performance series Electronic Crossovers invites you to explore the fields that interact with electronic music!

A fruit of collaboration with Istanbul-based musical collective ÆVOM, “Electronic Crossovers” looks at a range of fields and disciplines that feed on and interact with electronic music, technology, literature, cinema, environment, psychology, sociology, computer games, politics, urban transformation, nature and philosophy to name a few.

The October event of the series features a presentation and a performance of live coding by RAW (Selçuk Artut, Alp Tuğan).

The performance will take place at Pera Café Free admission; drop in. No reservations, limited seats.
