Ideas Festival: Kids' Ideas
Project: Pedal Powered Interactive Sculpture
Client: Qld Government
Completed: 2005
  
Materials: recycled Bikes and Conponents, Steel, Vinyl Sticker
Features: An Apparatus for the attraction of Patronage to Kids' Ideas
A Machine derived solely from Bicycle Parts to creation interactive machine accessible from age 4 and up. The machine was design to demonstrate multiple mechanisms of movements and is operated by a singe leaver.
 

After the festival ended I found that the machine was used so much that on of the three bells had a fatigue crack from having its duty cycle reached. The rest of the machine faired well apart from some vandalism attempts during the night.
The bicycles used in this sculpture were destined for the dump an were pleased to have had a second brief life.
