A few artsy-bikesy things you may want to know about:
One is Janet "Bike Girl" Attard's Studio will be part of the Holiday Marketplace at 401 Richmond from Thursday, Dec. 6th to Sunday, Dec. 9th.
More information on the 401 Richmond website, and you can see a lot of Janet's work on her Flickr page.
There is also a Canada.com column which is an interview of Interaccess curator Dana Samuel about the Laughbike and the Warbike:
Artist Jessica Thompson's bike is a laughing bike, which reinforces the fun in riding. It's a one-speed pedal-brake bike, so it's kind of like what you rode when you were a kid. Once you get to a certain speed the bike starts to laugh, so it's kind of about the feeling you get riding through a city in a nonutilitarian way.[photo is one of Janet Attard's pieces]
The other soundbike is David McCallum's Warbike. The title comes from the terms "wardriving" or "warchalking," searching for open wireless networks and signalling to people where they exist. McCallum is a composer, and wanted to make audible that which is inaudible-- those wireless signals all around us. So Warbike has technology that chimes in church bell sounds or digital sounds whenever it senses a wireless network.
