Olek + Dev Harlan: Suffolk Deluxe Electric Bicycle I

A knitted bicycle, it looks cute.

"a collaboration between new york -based artists olek (agata olek) and dev harlan,
'suffolk deluxe electric bicycle, I' takes a men's road bike as the site of a realtime intermeshing
of objects and material texture inseparably from light and video projection.

covered in white crocheting, the bicycle becomes the canvas for colour, pattern, and movement projected onto its surface.
the 3D mapping is designed to mimic the effect of knitting, through not only the textured appearance of many of the projected images
but also the realtime evolution of the patterns, which incorporates stop motion animations of real crocheting
and thus appear and disappear on the bicycle as if crocheted, unrolled, or unstitched."
