The Yodeling Lesson Installation

bicycle powered video installation 2000
score by Donovan Skirvin

This installation was specifically built for a group show, Taking Space, Making Place: Transforming Urban Experience at The American Institute of Architects in Portland. I tracked down the original official Portland bike lane stencil alterer, Mister Todd Roberts, and he agreed to make a naked lady bike lane stencil for me. Adam Dowis rigged up a super secret electronic box that made it so that you had to be pedaling a bike, and kind of hard I might add, in order to see the spectacular movie playing  which was The Yodeling Lesson, starring Moe Bowstern.

This installation has also shown in Eugene, Oregon at a one day arts shebang organized by Marc Moscato, at the Mix Festival in NYC, NY, and at the PDX Film Festival.
