From September 4-25, 2010, solarCircus will be exhibited at the 01SJ Biennial in South Hall. solarCircus (2009-2010) is an interdisciplinary platform for eco-dialogue about the future of renewable energy in urban spaces. Inside South Hall, visitors can browse a resource library, hack a solar toy, and experiment with solar cell construction. Outdoors, a miniature city of the future displays the creative potentials of solar power.
I will be conducting workshops and drop-in demonstrations from September 16-19 and Beth Ferguson from Sol Design Lab will be facilitating workshops from September 5-14. Sign up for all 01SJ workshops here.
On September 18th the project will take to the streets and be part of the Green Prix parade. The Green Prix is an all day festival that surrounds sustainable, ecological friendly, and fun modes of transportation—artful “eco-motion.”
