The topic of the 2011 edition integrates the issues of various concepts, the use, abuse and transformation of energy. Dealing with the materiality and power of energy through different modes and forms, in addition to its focus on the arts, the festival strives to open new perspectives on the importance and meaning of energy from social, economic, ecological and political standpoints. All segments of the festival are constructed in such a way as to encourage new ideas, shifts, imaginative ways of dealing, thinking and working with the issues raised by energy.
From 29 June - 3 July 2011 at Pogon Jedinstvo, Mochvara Club and Zagreb Dance Centre visit our international exhibition, performances, workshop, conference and enjoy freegan treats.

The performances by Slovenian artists Miha Ciglar and Luka Dekleva & Luka Prinčič are going to transform the club space into a space for experimental audio sessions. The artists will present to the audience a unique insight into the intriguing world of sound art.
The unpredictable dynamic and use of abstract glitch aesthetics of Schizogram, along with Ultrasound Haptics' research into the haptic interface based on ultrasound waves, are going to create an atmosphere that merges the concepts of temporary and permanent, accidental and mechanical, and human and technological. In the focus of the 2011 programme of Gallery Mochvara the emphasis will be put on sound art, promoting the progressive urban art scene focused on the creative use of technology, acoustics and noise, using new media practices to bring together the auditory, the visual and the tactile.
The 2011 programme has been conceived by the curatorial team of KONTEJNER | bureau of contemporary art praxis.

Maywa Denki live concerts are performed with original musical instruments. Every time a machine problem occurs, Maywa's laborers perform an emergency repair. In this way they keep the instruments in operation until the end of each show, and gain feedback for the future development of their products. It's very much like a Formula One Grand Prix in which accidents and crashes are common.
In their concerts, you'll not only see musical instruments but you'll also meet the robots Punch-kun, Renda-chan and Seamoons; sub-characters such as Sava-O and Poodles: and fun people like the accountant Wono-san, Laborers and Yankees (Japanese teen gangs) Maywa Denki.
Tickets for the show can be purhased at: Club Močvara, Trnjanski nasip bb; CD shop Kovač, Masarykova 14; and at the info points of the Device_art festival in Nano Gallery, Gajeva 26 and Jedinstvo Factory, Trnjanski nasip bb.
