EG1/EXT – The Dignity of Labour ⁰

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, Western Synthetics and Sofie Loizou, The Dignity of Labour is going to be a beautiful exploration of history and technology.
