Resonate is an annual festival for art and digital culture in Belgrade, Serbia, usually held over five days at the end of April. The first edition was held in 2012. It is the biggest media art festival in Serbia.
The festival is part of a collaborative project We Are Europe[1] (funded by the EU) together with festivals in other countries such as Sónar (Barcelona), c/o pop (Cologne), TodaysArt, Elevate, Insomnia, Nuits Sonores, and Reworks. Resonate co-curates at some of these festivals too with independent programs[2] and vice versa c/o pop, TodaysArt, Elevate and Sónar co-curated wing programs at Resonate.[3][4] The festival has several activities during daytime and in the evening: a conference, varying exhibition formats, a film and video program, performances, and workshops.[5][6]
Non-payment scandal
In the run-up to the 2018 edition of the festival, it emerged that many artists both local and international had not been paid, some for years.[7] A group of local artists even set up the Facebook group Still Unpaid At Resonate Festival, where it then emerged that the travel agent was also owed more than €28,000 for flights.[8] As a result, some artists began pulling out in solidarity, leading to cancelled shows.[9]
Despite this, the organisers advertised a further iteration in 2019 but owing to the brewing scandal the event was cancelled. As of September 2020, the festival's website is no longer active and the URL is available for sale.[10]

Industrial music is a genre of music that draws on harsh, mechanical, transgressive or provocative sounds and themes. AllMusic defines industrial music as the "most abrasive and aggressive fusion of rock and electronic music" that was "initially a blend of avant-garde electronics experiments and punk provocation". The term was coined in the mid-1970s with the founding of Industrial Records by members of Throbbing Gristle and Monte Cazazza. While the genre name originated with Throbbing Gristle's emergence in the United Kingdom, artists and labels vital to the genre also emerged in the United States and other countries.
Throbbing Gristle were an English music and visual arts group formed in 1975 in Kingston upon Hull by Genesis P-Orridge, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Peter Christopherson, and Chris Carter. They are widely regarded as pioneers of industrial music. Evolving from the experimental performance art group COUM Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle made their public debut in October 1976 on COUM exhibition Prostitution, and released their debut single "United/Zyklon B Zombie" and debut album The Second Annual Report the following year. Lyrical themes mainly revolved around mysticism, extremist political ideologies, sexuality, dark or underground aspects of society, and idiosyncratic manipulation of language.
