Maker Faire Bay Area 2008

LEGOJEEP

Topic(s): Arts | Crafts

Tags: art car, interactive, play, lego, "LEGOJEEP",

The LEGOJEEP is one of the few true interactive art cars. The exterior is covered in LEGO sheets allowing LEGO on top to be moved into different patterns, shaped into structures, and messages to be created by any passerby. This reshaping of the environment leads the LEGO player, hopefully, to reassess the norms of what is possible in one's environment. This art car introduces a sense of play and induces conversation among builders as LEGO are shared and traded among the makers.
