LANCE ARMSTRONG BIKEWAY PROJECT_TUNNEL 02 INSTALLATION

Thursday, November 19, 2009
Jack Sanders / Myself (RGAY) managed to get the second Tunnel installed within a short timeline, but only with the help of Ben May / many thanks to Ben for the valuable contribution.//
This is the final installation of the TUNNEL elements for LAB. +/- 8hrs enabled us to turn a small overgrown patch of weeds (thanks City of Austin Rec Department/for weed eaters) to 12 new yellow steel loops.
Located on Cesar Chavez / West of Lamar Bridge.
We hope you enjoy, we are almost done, now on to the installation of the solar lights.

Sunday, June 21, 2009
In late April we were commissioned by Art Alliance Austin to create entrance beacons for Art City Austin. Below are some videos from the installation process and also some finished images of each of the entrance sites, City Hall entrance / Cesar Chavez entrance.

It was a short project that we were pleased/delighted with the end product.

This project was made possible through support from Art Alliance Austin as part of their Art City Austin project.

CO2 LED_WINS NATIONAL AIPP AWARD

Sunday, October 05, 2008


Americans for the Arts/Year in Review / 'Projects of the Year 2007 Award'

CO2LED, temporary public art project, that myself (jack sanders, butch anthony) (lucy begg(fab team)) all worked on last summer in Arlington, Virginia. The project promoted the use of alternative energy sorces and responded to Arlington's environmental intitiative FreshAIRE.
We used over 600 solar powered LEDS to illuminate this underutilized traffic island in Arlington's Rozzyln neighborhood.
Jody Pinto (new york artist / judge) from the Americans for the Arts / Year in Review commented:
"it is both inventive and witty and, by using wit, it delivers an ecological message with grace and drama - and what a wonderful use of a traffic island."
Thank you for the great comments, we really enjoyed working with the Arlington's Cultural Affairs Division on this great project, wonderful group to work with.





Thanks again Americans for the Arts!
We are always interested in discussing possible future projects. let's talk about it!
more detailed information on the project can be found here.
