Custom built pedal-powered sign at the Big Chill
We built and installed the above pedal-powered ‘leave no trace’ sigh for the Big Chill Festival. Three bicycles powered the sign from the other side of a lake. What was amazing was that people had no idea what the Bicycles were for until they started pedalling. Using the Bicycle generators in this way really bought the ‘leave no trace’ sign to life and allowing festival goes to make their own art! Here are some more pictures of a sign built for a local community event.
Vision of Angel, interactive art piece at the Big Chill
This was our third year installing pedal powered art at The Big Chill so we really wanted to go all out and create something unusual. So inspired by William Blake’s ‘Vision of Angels’ we hung white dresses in an old tree, each dress contained a low voltage bulb connected to the Bicycle generators. It looked really macabre and worked well with the Big Chill’s Zombie Theme.
Well, THAT WAS GREAT FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe it took ten people to make one cuppa. AMAZING
It was great fun and made me realize how much electricity is used and I’m pretty sure I would do it again. I also thought it was good how the had they had adds ( the tag on’s ) for kids and there were a really good variety of different bikes. I liked the LED lights you could power up, rather fun and easy. Generally good fun. Plus it keeps you nice and warm. If you do it in the evening. Also lights up the set up ground and really is such fun. Unfortunately didn’t get to try a cuppa or any toast but I’m rather sure they would be fab. IT WAS GREAT FUN !!!!!!!!!!
Hi there,
Excellent fun at Broadwaters Park – thanks for bringing all the kit along. It certainly made a lot of us think about how much electricity we are wasting and I enjoyed my cuppa when I got home a whole lot more.
