On the way back to Islands Brygge and the Cat Walk performance, the rain started to come down pretty hard, but that did not hold back the Mr. Green Crew from telling the people of Amager that "Come and experience the CO2 E - Race CatWalk peformance and Bikini Car Wash on Islands Brygge! Free Food, Free Drinks and Live Music!"

Den 13 August vil man på Islands Brygge kunne være en del af den elvte omgang af
CO2 E - Race. Selve CO2 tagging turen hvor bilerne kører ruten forneden starter kl. 12.

Denne gang går ruten ad Amagerbrogade, Øresundsvej og Amager Fælledvej, før det hele slutter med en catwalk-opvisning og udstilling af køretøjerne på Islands Brygge, hvor der også vil være stor fest med LIVE musik og performance i elbilernes tegn ved 14ish.

THE CO2 E - RACE

The CO2 E-Race is a series of cultural events taking place in Copenhagen throughout 2009. The intent is to raise awareness in relation to the climate crisis and ways to solve it through technology.

The Vision

The vision is a future where transportation is run by renewable energy
sources and the climate crisis is under control because politicians, industry, media and consumers acted quickly and with foresight.

The project is initialized by The Danish Cultural Institute

”RELATIONAL ART”
According to Wikipedia

•Relational Art (or relationalism) is defined by Nicolas Bourriaud, co-founder and former co-director of Paris art gallery Palais de Tokyo as
"a set of artistic practices which take as their theoretical and practical point of departure the whole of human relations and their social context, rather than an independent and private space." Artworks are judged based upon the inter-human relations which they represent, produce or prompt.

•The artwork creates a social environment in which people come together to participate in a shared activity. Bourriaud claims "the role of artworks is no longer to form imaginary and utopian realities, but to actually be ways of living and models of action within the existing real, whatever scale chosen by the artist.“

•In Relational Art, the audience is envisaged as a community. Rather than the artwork being an encounter between a viewer and an object, relational art produces intersubjective encounters. Through these encounters, meaning is elaborated collectively, rather than in the space of individual consumption

HVORDAN? (in Danish)

•GPS: Hver bil får en farvekodet GPS der registrerer og ”maler” stregen i Københavns gader der "staver" CO2.

•Lys: Hver bil får et LED lys monteret på bilen der kan ses i gade billedet, så de bedre kan genkendes og fanges på film.

•Online: Man kan følge ”maleriet” live online på www.tractrac.dk og andre relevante sites.

•Storskærm: ”Maleriet” vises live på storskærm via nettet for publikum, inde i FORUM/Bright Green og på Rådhuspladsen/Hopenhagen LIVE.

•Interaktion: Borgere opfodres til at tage billeder af bilerne der kører rundt i gaderne med deres mobil telefoner og uploade dem på Google Maps ("geotagging"). Dette vil skabe et CO2 tegn med prikker på Google Maps.
CO2 ruten vil også blive malet på fortovet langs ruten så turen kan tages per fod før, under og efter den 13 december.

•Dokumentation: Fotografer dokumenterer CO2 turen den 13 december. Billederne bruges til at digitalt strikkes sammen til et 3D virtuelt bylandskab.

•Panorama billede: Et panorama billede over København bliver produceret der kan vises online og som del af den senere udstilling i New York 2010.

INSPIRATION FROM THE STREETS OF PARIS

2009-10-13T02:57:00.000-07:00

THE COPENHAGEN CO2 E - RACE PAINTING
December 13th 2009

The CO2 E - Race Project is inspired by the Bison Cave paintings.

In the stone ages, it is said that the way early man dealt with fear and challenges, was to paint them on the walls of the cave they lived in as a community .
The first registered art we have found is the painting of the Bison ox. The Bison ox gave them food and warmth, but was also a very large and dangerous animal.
By identifying and illustrating the “challenge”, they could touch, look, throw stones and talk about the image to physically and mentally confront it in their daily life together with the rest of the members in the cave. In following the early humans and their natural instinct to deal with the challenges of their time with the tools and colors available to them; the CO2 E - Race will paint an issue on our minds in order to illustrate one of the main challenges the human race is currently confronted with.

Copenhagen is the wall, the GPS the paint and the CO2 friendly cars the tools.
