Artikcar by Ben Wilson

Imaginée par le designer et artiste britannique Ben Wilson dans le cadre des Art Car Parade organisées par la société Walk the Plank qui auront lieu à Manchester et Edimbourg, le concept Artikcar est un petit véhicule à pédales dont le profil, réalisé à partir d’un tube néon, s’inspire de la silhouette des petites voitures en bois pour enfants. Toutes les images dans la suite !

Description originale

Walk the Plank’s illuminated Art Car Parades – full of mechanical mischief – will take over Manchester’s streets This Thursday 26th and in Edinburgh this Saturday the 28th November. Ben Wilson was one of three artists to be awarded commissioning money to create a mobile work of art, which will join the existing troupe of vehicles.

ARTIKCAR is inspired by a child’s wooden toy car. The Pedal Powered vehicle is made from steel tubing, it steers by leaning and uses an innovative technology to illuminate the car. If you’re near by please come and see the parades :

– Edinburgh’s Homecoming Illuminated Art Car Parade, Edinburgh City Centre, Saturday 28th November, cars on display from 2pm, parade from 5.30pm (The Mount). FREE TO ALL

The illuminated Art Car Parades have been created and produced by outdoor arts specialists Walk the Plank Supported by Art Council England and will be presented in association with Manchester City Council and Edinburgh’s Homecoming celebrations.

   [...] The Bubblicious-ly bright orange neon that outlines the rider profile provides a stylish flare and bike safety; it’s a definite upgrade from the old-school bicycle safety lights. Pedal-powered and seemingly drawn with a glow stick, the Artikcar looks like a joy to ride. Wilson’s Artikcar Bike was designed for Walk the Plank’s illuminated Art Car Parades, which starts Nov. 26 in Manchester, UK. [via TrendsNow] [...]

   [...] Mr. Wilson not only made a recumbent bike looks cool with his Artikcar Bike, but he also made the recumbent bike very much en vogue. Artikcar is a four-wheeled recumbent-style bike with a bubbly rider profile that is laced with bright neon lighting. Beyond its bold design sensibility, Wilson’s Artikcar is as much about safety as it is about style. That neon wrapping will ensure that the drivers you share the road with will be well aware of your presence. Awesome work, Mr Ben Wilson. [WilsonBrothers via TrendSnow] [...]
