Festival Electron – BAR TO BAR

An opening-night parcours conceived within Festival Electron, BAR TO BAR assembles sixteen artists and collectives from Grand Genève into a roaming electronic circuit across the city. Each bar functions as a musical node with its own sonic identity, while artists generate contrasting textures that pulse through the crowd. An interactive map frames the route as an artwork, shaping the nocturnal flow and revealing connections between scenes. The project emphasises collaboration, shared authorship and the civic resonance of local electronic culture.
