An exploration of the birth of electricity within the UK and how it has evolved since the first electrical current in Blackburn originated from the Fusebox site. Our contributions included working with the Mitchell and Kenyon cinema archive and the first-ever Western film, 'The Kidnappers.' Using this material, we utilised AI technologies to reinterpret the movie with a modern twist in response to prompts developed with young people at the Youth Zone.
Jamie and Alex from Uncultured Creatives were tasked with developing various creative projects and conducting research around the site of the first substation in the UK, Blackburn. The project explored a range of traditional mediums. They wanted to innovate with the project and, as a result, brought the Sairo team in to help.
We produced a one-minute recreation of 'The Kidnappers' film, launched at the Fusebox launch event on an Igloo cube system. The film opened up a lot of questions about AI within video and the negatives of being able to change the narrative of content so quickly. It was a successful project with the outcomes we wanted.
