TOOLS

We are responsive to dynamic environments and create curious objects that allow for the process of working through complex problems to be made visible.

drawing a bike from memory

The axiom “Like Riding a Bicycle” is about never forgetting that which we know. We invite participants to make their own drawings of bicycles from memory, showing how complicated knowledge and memory can be, as well as the humor present in mistakes (“that bike won’t go anywhere!”).

Ripple Effects Mapping

We collected audio narratives from children recollecting how they learned to ride a bike as well as stories from adults about teaching others to ride. When shown, the audio narratives are pedal powered; they only play for a participant riding a bicycle.

Race bibs

In a race a participant wears an identifying numbered bib as a way to distinguish themselves from the group. Using the visual language of the the bicycle race bib to label participants with their skills they become both a part of the collective event and distinguished by their individual skill set. These are used both as a wearable item at events and as a archive of the collective knowledge of participants in installation and projections.
