THE 3D CO2 PAINTING SCULPTURE AT KONGENS NYTORV

On October 10^th in connection with Copenhagen Night of Culture, an Award Show to hand over the official Guinness World Record Certificates done on September 25th, was held on Kongens Nytorv in the centre of Copenhagen. Other than the Award show, it was also the opening/revealing of the 3D CO2 Painting. The painting is the 3D illustration of the CO2 route through Copenhagen that was done in 2009 in connection to COP15. The following images are from the building of the artwork and from the Award Show. The above video is made by Adam & Benjamin of Hovedløs

The artwork was produced in collaboration with Christian Riis (above) of Grounded Craftwork on the Islands Brygge District of Copenhagen.

Glue Spirals was done to connect the different layers of plywood. The Glue was supplied by Dana Lim.

It was a great puzzle to connect the many layers and road layers

Lasse Daugaard Bentzen assisted in the production

Familiar shapes showed up

Shapes seen in other cities skylines

The white primer supplied by Danish company Beck & Jørgensen

The White and Grey KNOxOUT paint was supplied by Boysen Paints in the Philippines

The Grey layer was rolled on top of the first layer of White



The ORANGE CO2 route painted into the Copenhagen Street landscape

Jacob Hartmann from Sharing Copenhagen gave a helping hand

The 16 square meters was added, one by one. In above image Jesper Fuglsang Mikkelsen in the brown leather jacket, while his son Adam Benjamin is up on the ladder filming the process.

The Copenhagen Night of Culture fell upon Kongens Nyorv (The Kings New Square)

To lighten up the wall, a Tesla Model S from Carl Nielsen, a BMW i3 and several electric scooters and MC's from EV Scandinavia used their electric headlights.

The Hollywood Actress and Producer Kristina Korsholm hosted the Award Show

Sten Jauer of LAND Design Lab, who designed the logo for the Electric Bridge - Guinness World Record event also came by the event.

The Electric Bridge Banner was also up for a weekend after the opening.

Will Gurley (above) who is the mastermind behind the design of the map over Copenhagen. He also created ther files, to be transferred into a digital form that can be turned into instructions for the laser cutter to cut out the city from the plywood.

THE ELECTRIC BRIDGE - GUINNESS WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT ON ØRESUND BRIDGE - BETWEEN DENMARK AND SWEDEN

The Parking Lot at Field's was the canvas for the Spiral of Electric Cars. 

The inspiration for the Spiral is Sacred Geometry and the Fibonacci Spiral that is a universally occurring concept in nature and all life forms.

The inspiration also came from a simple google search for "car" and "spiral" where the above image popped up.

Having the inspiration in place, it was key to also figure out how it could be documented from above. When talking to Thomas Knudsen, who is one of Denmark's best Drone Operators, it became clear that the Spiral should be documented by Thomas and his magic Drone, as seen above.

Color coordination was attempted, and worked, at least in the middle where an Orange Dot was created.
Now the question is, if we shall turn in an application for the record for the worlds largest "Spiral made out of Electric Cars".

Rufus also held a speech at Copenhagen Pride on Rådhuspladsen earleir in 2014, speaking both Danish and English to the cheering crowd.

Jakob Hougaard (S), Vice President of Engineering and the Environment in the City of Copenhagen. He participated with his own Nissan Leaf, being an avid and authentic electric car driver, along with representing Sharing Copenhagen.

Jens Mandrup from The Capital Region of Denmark also joined the day representing Copenhagen Electric and the Capital Region's Electric Car Initiatives.

The Los Angeles based Danish Actress and Film Producer Kristina Korsholm drove the above Tesla Roadster, putting the pedal to the metal of the drag race capable Electric Jetplane, flying over the Øresund Brige on the way to Malmø. It had to be charged urgently, so it would even be able to get back over the bridge again for the attempt 2 hours later.

The two hours were spent visiting and joining forces with Øresund Electric Car Rally, that had their closing event on the Hyllie Station Square next to Emporia. They also helped Kristina with charging her, or actually Carl Nielsen from Clear Drive's Roadster. We were happy to hear that our good friend Martin Messer Thomsen of EV TEST won the 2014 Rally! Se more images from the 2014 Øresund Electric Car Rally in Malmø HERE. Thanks to Per Lundgren of OECR and his wonderful Swedish Team!

On top of the Emporia Rooftop, there was Yellow Plexi Glass that gave the tinted view over the Øresund Bridge, Turning Torso and Kronprinsen. All well known skyline profiles of Malmø, even if many still miss the Kockums Crane that once dominated the skies of the city.

Once the participants of the Attempt came back to the Field's parking lot and completed the Spiral Formation, there was SOUP. The Potato Soup, with bacon and bread was made by Ærø Chef Keld Fuglsang Mikkelsen and Copenhagen Chef Lotte Monberg and sponsored by the BILKA inside of Field's.
Their slogan for the day was "BILKA LI ELBILER".

After a flash of rain, right when the participants took off from the Field's parking lot, it got dark and the day was over. Did we set a Guinness World Record? At this writing moment we are not sure. There was 218 participating Electric Cars in the day and 160 could be 100% verified by KPMG being part of the parade and were re-checked and counted as the left the Field's parking lot. Please stay tuned for new updates soon.
