last weekend, chris d., eva and i went out to the lakes to get some work done --- we had big plans for big building. we were met there by ryann, who wanted to interview us about 'cycling subculture', and we ended up talking for the entire day. kush was there too - and he described his vision for a new new york ----> where the roads are filled with Human Powered Vehicles (that can also be lived in!) and showed us drawings too, which include a visionary gearing/weight system that is build into the drivechain. it was fascinating, and thoroughly inspiring.
our long talk began with cycling subculture, but expanded outward, rather than inward. we spent hours sitting & talking, exploring & critiquing and reworking the possibilities and potentials of peoples' relationship to urban space.
what a perfect addition to this expansive islands project.
afterwards, elizabeth came and she and eva continued working on the neon tent, and we made a wagon and transported salvaged materials from the ice rink to the lakes. in our last minutes there, we had to toss the rafts into the lake so the boathouse could use the docks the next day. they work perfectly .... or so we thought.
