What can I say about "Fun With Bikes" except that it turned out to be something much better than our original ideas. All having different visions resulted in the most difficult step of the project: combining and trimming our ideas into one. My vision was to make various insruments out of bike parts which would come together to create a bike band. Five instruments for which to make noise with, that would be performed for all...that was the idea. This didn't happen. Instead, our project evolved from a bike sculpture for all to interact with, into a wearable, playable piece. In the end, we had a one-man band construction. Putting it together so that it made more and more noise was the most enjoyable part of designing our project. And there you have it...a contraption made of bicycle parts, that one person could wear, but which many could play...quite a wonderful array of noise. You can't help but want to touch it, and furthermore, become one with it.
