COPENHAGEN RUNNING ART MAN

The Copenhagen Art Run is an interactive Art, Action and Spiritual Experience in the lovely surroundings of Ishøj Beach, right next to ARKEN Moderne Museum of Art. It's not about who runs fastests or gets into goal first, but rather a way to co-create, interact and enjoy Nature, Art and Each Other. It takes place on September 12th, 2012 and is produced by VIBE. For more info about the event go HERE.

The above image with the Pink Triangle is the START of the Art Run and is placed just below the Art Museum ARKEN - that by the way is designed by Søren Robert Lund, who at the time when he won the design competition was a student.

Like Noah, he created an Ark. An Ark for Art. The above image of the brilliant design, is taken by Ronald Tilleman if you have not noticed.

Seen in the BLUE line above is the route for the runners. Based on this line, a CO2 tag will be created with the help of the CO2 Green Drive Smartphone APP. An APP that was created by our VERY jatlagged programmer Henrik The Gilvader, right upon touchdown from Burning Man and CO2 tag number 24.

The above flyer is what will be at START for the runners so they can take their Smartphones, scan the QR Code and thereby download and activate the GPS Tagging APP. Once they go on the run, the CO2 tag is produced when they move into the area that is programmed to pick up their signal. You can see the 25th CO2 Tag HERE, while it is being made and forever after.

The above was the first Sketch for the CO2 tag for Copenhagen Art Run, but was too big.

Maybe it can be done like this next year? There is also many other Art Projects around on the Run. One such project is by Jakob Bue and Kasper Lynge Jensen with their project "Color Compostions with Dynamite and Weather" and one is said to expect: Dynamit, Paint, Pyramids and Runners. Mr. Lynge Jensen is also the man behind Sejerø Festival and part of The Triangle Project.

And Finally the Fine tune "Running Man" by the Danish Gentlemen from WhoMadeWho

UPDATE:

The above was the CO2 Tag that was done during Copenhagen Art Run 2012.

June 15 2012 was a bearer of good news with the Burning Man Organization confirming that CO2 Green Drive was able to buy tickets to Burning Man. 

This is long awaited news and we are now full steam planning the activities in detail. 

The activities include an Art, Climate and Technology Theme Camp.

Here we will investigate climate related issues in a co-creative and playful process. The objective is to establish an environment where we all feel comfortable and can experience what creative and innovative ideas that can spring when you set your mind free. We plan for the camp to be open 2-3 hours every day.

The plans will be developed together with the final group of participants and what their specialities are. 

On Friday 31 August we will perform the CO2 "painting" performance using renewable energy powered transportation means. Our vision is a big parade of bikers, pedestrians, stilt walkers, bunnies and electric Art Cars led by a brass band. All completing a GPS tracked CO2 painting on the open playa.
We also see Dancing. Definitely Dancing...Electric!

If you would like to learn more do get in touch and we will be happy to forward you

AROUND THE WORLD IN THREE DAYS

In connection with Earth Day 2012, the CO2 Green Drive Project in collaboration with the Danish Cultural Institute, Earth Day Network and various local partners around the world embarked on a mission to perform CO2 Green Drive in 12 cities on 5 continents.

On 20th April the CO2 "tagging" started with simultaneous events in New York/US and Horsens/Denmark. In New York, the artist behind CO2 Green Drive Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen collaborated with Earth Day New York. The performance was done with a selection of electric & hybrid cars and trucks along with an electric MC and a Bicycle Taxi functioning as "brushes" while in Horsens the "tagging" was performed by 150 bicyclists and 7 Electric Vehicles.

Two days later CO2 Green Drive continued in Yokohama where global CO2 Green Drive Project Manager, Michael Wolffhechel, singlehanded "tagged" Yokohama with a CO2 (above). 

CO2 tag in Delhi

This was followed by India where CO2 Green Drive was performed by approximately 250 runners in 6 cities, including, Bhopal, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Thane. Above the CO2 "tags" from Delhi and Bhopal.

India was followed by Dakar in Senegal where 130 bikers and 25 roller skaters took part in CO2 Green Drive alongside extensive press coverage and collaboration with City Hall. The CO2 tagging performance was attended and performed by The General Secretary of The Danish Cultural Institute Finn Andersen and CO2 Green Drive's own Aziz Fall.

At the last minute Cape Town in South Africa also managed to get onboard with local Electric Vehicle producer Optimal Energy supplying one EV to perform as "brush". 

Finally in Santiago in Chile, a CO2 tag was carried out by a convoy of bicycles in collaboration with Danish Bicycle brand Biomega

THANK YOU to all the "brushes" around the world, partnering organizations, sponsors and helping hands. This couldn't have been done without you!
