The Environmental Bike is a sonic bike that makes sound and music through live sonification of the air and its quality as you cycle. It was inspired by FoAM-Kernow‘s work on the Sonic Kayak with Kaffe during 2016-19 and was built in our bicrophonics Berlin studio during COVID lockdown 2020. BERLIN PROCESS BLOGGED HERE..
Invited to perform at Lisboa Soa sound art festival, we saw this as an ideal situation in which to run an interactive and open research lab there to launch and develop the system with the participation of local cyclists. Performing out of the Campo Mártires da Pátria park, the Lab was run daily by bicrophonic artists Lisa Hall, Federico Visi and Kaffe with hardware built by Sukandar Kartadinata, Berlin and ongoing consultation from Amber and Dave Griffiths FoAM-Kernow, UK. 22 – 27.09.20.
Many thanks to all at Lisboa Soa, the Göethe Institute , the riders, the volunteers and the environmental scientists who came and encouraged us. Also to Vera Marmelo for these wonderful images.
