Using themes of global power shifts, industrial decline and
economic uncertainty, EG1/EXT will weave together a tribute to the
industrial age and its workers in The Dignity of Labor.
The project will represent the site of Cockatoo Island and the rich
history of its workers through audio and visual technology; a digital
drum kit made of the sounds of the groaning buildings, footage of the
island and its labour force in all of its elements. The work is intended
to highlight the experience of the industrial age, paying homage to its
working class and giving light to the stories that are sometimes buried
deep in Sydney’s past.
EG1/EXT consists of Sydney electronic musicians, cultural
experimenters, and visual specialists who have never worked together
before. Featuring some of Sydney’s best established and emerging
electronic artists, such as as ollo, Bec Paton, Westernsynthetics and
Sofie Loizou, The Dignity of Labour is going to be a beautiful exploration of history and technology.
