Introduction	Kolja Kugler is a native Berlin Artist. In the early nineties Kolja collaborated with The Mutoid Waste Company. They lived, worked and exhibited on the former cold war frontline, Potsdamer Platz, Berlin, mutating former war machinery into peacful objects of art. One of the most recognized works of this time is “The Lost Tribe of Mig”- project, an immense installation in the city centre of a Mig 21 fighter plane flying out of a four story building. Over the time Kolja discovered how to use airpreasure to animate his sculptures. Following years of traveling in Europe with the Tekno underground Art movement groups Alien Pulse Agency and Spiral Tribe, Kolja took of on his own independent travels around the world (2001-2006). Throughout these travels he exhibited his largest robotic sculpture “Sir Elton Junk”, in Australia, south east Asia and the three Americas. Back in Europe since 2006 Kolja continues to create moving sculptures. Currently he became a director of a band of pneumaticly driven robot sculptures which express a general joy for live by being able to play music on real instruments.
