Energy Union vas pozdravlja!

The mission: to illuminate, inform and animate; to think and act. Energy Union is a campaign, music tour, party, art and discussion all in one, and it comes together with information, tips & tricks on how to save the planet! It's time for Intelligent Energy!

The confirmed dates for the first events are:

MAY 13/14 – ZAGREB / CROATIA        &        MAY 15 – RIJEKA / CROATIA

On the road again are Coldcut from Ninja Tune with their iconoclastic AV film also titled Energy Union, an interactive exhibition using the “Gridio” system and political panel discussions.

The pioneering band Coldcut (Ninja Tune, London) have produced an audiovisual mix film about “Intelligent Energy”. The audience can expect innovative VJ+DJ techniques in the inimitable Coldcut 'Journeys by DJ' style, blending pop music with colorful visuals, to get the vital message across. The mix, created especially for Energy Union, demonstrates once again how Coldcut ('the Kraftwerk of the 21st Century' -iD Mag) break boundaries. This year, a must-see new feature is added to the events: Coldcut's Matt Black and Vienna VJ crew 4YourEye will do a joint visual session, a unique live cinema remix of elements from the Energy Union film blended with new materials and state of the art VJ sources, soundtracked by very special guest DJs and electronic artists. The first 2 shows feature DJ/producer Martyn, absolutely one of the hottest of the new generation of DJ/producers.

An interactive art-installation called “Gridio”, created by the artist association Brightonart, uses a touch sensitive dance floor to turn visitors to the tour into creators of their own audiovisual works. The Viennese projection artists 4youreye provide imposing projection designs.

Panel discussions add the political dimension to the tour, explaining and discussing the concept of Intelligent Energy. The forums are prepared by groups of the Friends of the Earth Europe network.
