Octopolis

in partnership with the Contemporary Arts Center

A project of the 2006 ArtWorks Summer Program

  • On exhibit: The UnMuseum at the Contemporary Arts Center, 44 E. 6 th St. Cincinnati, OH 45202 - Downtown
  • September 2006 - Present
Working on a site-specific interactive sculpture for the Contemporary Art Center's UnMuseum, this group of apprentices pondered the connection between kinetic art, science, and design. They built a stationary bike-powered city, Octopolis, that, when pedaled by the viewer, powers art the viewer can see. Looming overhead is the giant Octofly, a creature seeking to wreak havoc on the city of Octopolis! The sculpture will be on display in the UnMuseum for two years.
