The bicycle is not only my unique vehicle of transportation but also my urban eyeglass - some extension of my visual and acoustic organs. As such, it is a real social urban interface. The bicycle is also major aesthetic technology I keep trying to explore. Instead of retooling the bike, I twist and abuse traffic rules (biased towards cars!) and the daily common use of these driving machines, pedaling against the grain, against traffic in order to create an event and a video, i.e. a new way of seeing the city also for others.

I'm a bicycle rider since early childhood. My first birthday present I remember was a bicycle. I have never stayed in a place for long without a bicycle. Here in NYC I own 3 bicycles - one for daily use, one as reserve (in case one breaks down) and one as a foldable pet for travels.

As an apprentice in the sun - and sometimes in the rain - I admit that a touch of danger comes as no surprise as does often desire, love and loss. The bicycle after all is as strange a machine as the city is an industrious factory with people bouncing.

I wish city planners could just convert 50% of all street surfaces to bicycle use only. Sounds radical but it is feasable and advisable.
