BUMP EXHIBITION AT FABRICA
...........................................................................................
BUMP Assocreation is an interactive pavement that connects two European cities through the soles of your feet.

BUMP establishes a connection between two cities. A catwalk - 1.5 by 20 meters - is installed in the public space of each city. If a person steps onto the catwalk his/her weight triggers off an impulse which is transferred into the other city by means of a data-line. Then a pneumatic piston raises the corresponding board by a few centimeters.

BUMP Experience this common ground for yourself at Fabrica, 40 Duke Street, Brighton.
19 September - 19 October 10.00am

Admission Free
