aLIVe – Call for Ideas
Deadline: Monday, January 25, 2010 by 5:00pm
Eligibility: Professional artists and artist teams, architects, landscape architects, designers of all types, engineers, tinkerers and community members residing In Washington, Oregon, California and British Columbia are invited to apply.

4Culture in collaboration with Great City is seeking ideas that will inspire and engage the broader community in a conversation about transportation. Currently, our transportation system is designed around 40 ton trucks, but what if we were to design around the human body instead? A bicycle is a low-impact vehicle. What else can be imagined? Selected project ideas will be funded and exhibited in a variety of ways, depending upon medium and context. This is a great opportunity for people working across disciplines to explore how the arts can enhance existing systems and stimulate public conversations about energy, livability and design. Citizens from all backgrounds are encouraged to submit ideas for everything from poetry to prototypes.

    I agree with you except for the fact that we must remember that freight transportation is an essential element to our regions blue collar, family wage economy. As such, we need to ensure that trucks and freight are integral components of the system.

    The video of your outdoor exhibition last summer is awesome. I wish I could have been there. I am excited to see what ideas come from this investigation, and to offer my own ideas to the table. Thank you for doing this, and making it available to everyone.
