Who will be on board the Energy Union Tour?
Coldcut presents Energy Union.
Coldcut, consists of Matt Black and Jonathan Moore, they are considered as ‘the inventors’ of audiovisual cutup since their hit ‘Timber’ ‘Audiovisual Music’ got famous across the sea from the United Kingdom. Coldcut has created a special show for Energy Union, transmitting the topic of ‘Intelligent Energy’ in an unconventional way. The Energy Union show is an all-new Coldcut audiovisual production - a ground-breaking piece of live cinema about Intelligent Energy.
The music is a 'Journeys by DJ' style approach: a montage of contemporary music both familiar and obscure, drawn from many genres, woven together by the acknowledged Grandmasters of the eclectic electric mash-up. At the bigger shows, featured quartets perform a string score, adding a live human dimension to the digital mixdown.
The visuals -a mix of borrowed, contributed footage and custom animation - use the music mix as a foundation to build a narrative in 4 sections: LIFE, CAUTION, SOLUTIONS, ACTION. It's about the world we live in and our choices on where its going: Energy + Intelligence = Evolution is the equation to solve.
Coldcut are pioneers of VJing and the audiovisual cutup. Energy Union is their most ambitious AV production to date. Hollywood move over...the NEW new cinema is in town...this could be the first VJ film. The visuals will be presented on a custom giant black screen, this being part of Coldcut' s 'Project Black'initiative: a number of techniques to achieve a projection effect' beyond the screen'. The agenda of this supercharged AV piece of positive propaganda is to influence the audience. It's an in ya face call to action that is highly Information dense, emotive, satirical, aggressive, uplifting. Only for the headstrong who are paying attention, the true Coldcut audience - an audience who are themselves influential movers, shakers and creators- opinion leaders who CAN make a difference....YOU.
Once again, the Ninja Daddies take it to the next level on their unique 20 year trip to combine art, music, and activism. Whether you dance or watch the screen, it doesnt matter. Hate it or love it, you will be challenged - can you stay unmoved? It's Time....
GRIDIO: an interactive system that lets you 'play' audiovisual compositions - its the ultimate techno toy
Pressure-sensors on the grid-patterned floor detect movements of people within the installation and this triggers audiovisual clips. Video from the clips is mixed on big screens and sound through a loudspeaker system. GRIDIO is a giant human audiovisual sequencer built by Brightonart for Energy Union, that lets you remix parts of the Coldcut Energy Union live show along with a bank of specially-produced media clips.
Check the Energy Union tour dates to see exactly when and where to find GRIDIO on the tour.
See www.gridio.com for more info on the installation.

Friends of the Earth (FoEE) – our partners in politics
Policy Forums, organised by Friends of the Earth Europe, will be focused on the ‘Big Ask’ climate campaign for annual reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. They are an important element of Energy Union. The Big Ask was a big success in UK where it led to the groundbreaking Climate Law, and the campaign is now ramping things up in the rest of Europe.
