The 2004 Chilean version of the event was produced locally by Pol Taylor and Rocio Venegas with the collaboration of the Canadian team, and was called ¨Synthetic City¨. The event took place in Muelle Barón, in the port city of Valparaíso. Showcases have occurred in Brazil and Colombia as well.
In 2005 MUTEK was among the first Western cultural organizations to send a delegation of electronic artists to China.
