Pedal Powered municipal lighting - 'Pedal Power for Bybrua'

Wheel

A temporary intervention in a dark pedestrian underpass beneath city road bridge (Bybrua). During the daytime we asked pedestrians walking over the bridge if they would like to use our bicycle. Their energy in turn powered a battery through a generator installed on the bike. Each night the battery was taken from the bike and rigged up to the lights to enhance visibility and safety for pedestrians.

Actors: Justin Carter, Will Foster, Torunn Larsen (Rogaland Kunstsenter) and residents of Stavanger.
