Lane Campaign

City cyclists across the world lack protection. Check out these innovative ideas for ad hoc bike lanes.

Conceived as part of the Power to the Pedal Competition, the Contrail - a name inspired by the condensation trail left by aircraft - gives cyclists the chance to re-write the city to their own specification. A series of chalk trails create a record of their travels and remind drivers that cyclists have just as much right to the road as they do.

The high tech version is just as exciting, although less of an artistic experiment and more focused on a genuine solution. By projecting a lane from under the bike seat via a set of lasers, the motorist can easily become aware of the cyclists and gauge how much room to give. Very clever.

Christina Street Art

Blog/ Poor Christina

An artistic assault on celebrity perfection on Berlin’s underground.

Poor Photoshop. Poor Christina. Working together to expose advertising in its role of a disconnecting agent, a relatively anonymous German street art collective has stuck unambiguously named Photoshop layer menus and brush palettes on six-sheets, thus brutally ‘framing’ the ads and exposing their origins and motivations.

RIGHT YOU ARE

Right You Are

Someone once asked OS GÊMEOS, the identical twin brothers and original pioneers of Brazilian graffiti, what makes them want to write. Why do what you do, was the question, and this their response:

“Hate and love, living in a country where you have to survive, the simple look of a child asking for money in the street, living in a country where the government doesn't care about you, where there are no laws, where people are paid miserable salaries and are still smiling, waking up sometimes and realising it was only a dream. Idolatry, lack of union, vanity, ego, jealousy, people who need others to be somebody, people who use the others. Love. We are proud to be Brazilians from São Paulo, to know that what we believe in exists, to write incorrectly in Portuguese, to live some moments that seem eternal, to use firecrackers in the street, to build fires in those streets, to tell lies to the police, to know that our family loves us, to do things without thinking, using latex and rollers, to paint in the street with out clothes dirty from the paint, to go up on a ladder without a shirt, to be from South America, to use the city, ugly things, to know we fly in the fog, and to float paper boats in the rain.”

Good enough for us.
