Covert Public Messages
Inspired by movies like "They Live", "The Spiderwick Chronicles" and countless spy films, I wanted to create a means of displaying information in public, that only a select few could see. To the unaided eye, the mosaic of tinted film squares seems uniform and holds no particular meaning. But when viewed though a polarized filer (or a pair of polarized sunglasses), the concealed message becomes clear.

Rodeo Klowns
Heavy Pedal Cyclecide Bike Rodeo
Cyclecide has embraced the bicycle as a medium to express our interest in mechanical innovation, kinetic art, and performance. By salvaging bicycles for creative re-use we have produced a fleet of double-decker tall bikes, choppers, tandems, swing bikes, reverse bikes, and others too bizarre to name. The Heavy Pedal Bike Rodeo is a circus style show that highlights these monstrous alter-cycles with stupefying stunts. Our pedal-powered carnival midway of rides and attractions demonstrate the possibilities of human powered fun and engineering.
