What if we all imagined a transportation system designed
around the human body, instead of a 40-ton truck?

aLIVe (a Low Impact Vehicle exploration) investigates how artists can re-imagine our existing transportation, transit and storm water systems and inspire the community towards action, innovative solutions and change.

Join us for aLIVe: a Low Impact Vehicle exploration at Bumbershoot

  • Johnnie Olivan of Rejuiced Bikes will offer rides on his fleet of Bike-Cars
  • Peter Reiquam will display his Walk and Roll and offer demonstrations
    of this innovative LIV
  • Julia Field of Undriving™ will be issuing Undriving Licenses all weekend
  • An LIV/DIY craft table will offer the opportunity to make your own low
    impact vehicle model

Look for aLIVe in Center Square by the Experience Music Project near the 5th & Broad Street entrance to the festival.

aLIVe is an artist-initiated project envisioned by Cheryl dos Remédios working in partnership with 4Culture, Great City and One Reel.

Would you like to volunteer during Bumbershoot and receive a free pass into the festival? Please contact Cheryl dos Remédios for more info.

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.
