MUTEK Forum 2026 speakers
I love MUTEK Forum. They just launched the partial 2026 speaker lineup, but didn’t include links and bios, so I asked Claude to use the context of the forum and the list, to give me 1-2 links for each speaker. I did a super quick check of every links, replaced one, and posted here. So be warned, I don’t think there are errors, but they might not be the best links for each.
Claude’s research
Here’s the full speaker list with 1–2 recommended links per speaker. Note that Chloé Gatignol and Malte Leander have limited public web presences — I’ve noted the best available options for each.
