In the Future Perfect

Julian and Jol Thomson have been commissioned by The Royal Holloway Centre for the GeoHumanities to research a new work with the theme of Creating Earth Futures.

In the Future Perfect aims at a polyvalent understanding of what fusion energy, a theoretically clean and unlimited energy source, could mean for the future global environment and economy.

For the Vinyl Art Project, Julian will be performing a new live work: Je T'aime Moi Non Plus: entrelacé 

Je T'aime Moi Non Plus: entrelacé pays tribute to the lurid dysphemism of Gainsbourg's most famous song. Through the euphemism of the locked groove it tries to recreate the "kind of terrible copulation" that Gainsbourg later sought to avoid.
