FENLAND FOLK - 10 LARGE ILLUSTRATIVE ARTWORKS BY ELECTRIC EGG

Electric Egg are excited to announce an exciting new project to be unveiled in January 2016. On the 31st of January Transported & FreshLinc will unveil a series of 10 artworks in the latest "Art on Lorries" commission.

Alisha Miller’s bold and expressive depictions of Lincolnshire landscapes, have been touring Europe on Freshlinc trailers for nearly two years.

MISCANTHUS: The Seeds to Grow a Sustainable, Low Carbon Economy

Over the last few years we have been working with innovative energy crop supply chain company TERRAVESTA. Not only have we been involved in editorial portraiture of their growers as part of their grower profiles, but we have also been documenting the development and deployment of new varieties of this Miscanthus crop developed as part of a large agricultural research and development project at IBERS - Aberystwyth University with partners such as Ceres Inc and the University of Aberdeen.  As part of this we have shot timelapses of the development crop growing in test fields and trials of experimental planting and growing methods as well as documenting the hard work and rigorous testing and breeding of varieries to develop a new seed based Miscanthus that can deliver high yields in the european climate.

Check out this science doc that explains the potential and the development of this new agricultural product and world energy solution.

FREEDOM TRAIL - a documentary by Electric Egg

We recently worked with Just Lincolnshire to document an exciting project that engaged school children with the concepts of human rights to mark the 800th anniversary of the charter of the forest.  The trail saw students involved in various woodland activities, dramatic performances and challenges in Hill Holt Wood. It was a great project and fun to film - check out our film about the project.
