Bike Box Geo-tagged Tours start at 2pm Saturday, July 17th!

As part of their AIRtime@Devotion exhibition, Bike Box, Sabine Gruffat and Bill Brown will lead geo-tagged bike tours through Brooklyn at 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. 

Bike Box is a mobile-media bicycle library and interactive installation housed at Devotion Gallery, allowing participants to check out cheap, durable, technology-enhanced bikes and a free open source iPhone application developed for this installation. As participants pedal around central Brooklyn, they are able to contribute site-specific audio through the iPhone application, as well as listen to a curated collection of geo-specific sounds provided by a variety of local land-use experts, historians, poets, artists, and other interpreters. Bike Box hopes to explore and give participants access to the layers of lived experience, personal anecdote, and history that are piled up invisibly on every street corner and city block.

Bike Box Geo-tagged Tours take originate at Devotion Gallery (54 Maujer Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11206) at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday July 17th, Sunday July 18th, Saturday July 24th, and Sunday July 25th. 

Admission is free and open to the public.
