A model-like work of art in public space, based on raw acoustic backdrops, collected while traveling through Latin America and Europe, has been musically re-layered. It can be heard on site via a cell phone. It was placed as an artifact to bring its vibrancy to the street and to absorb all that is important for its existence. What it wants to convey, is a “utopia” in which these [sur-]real worlds form new [imaginariums]. Like a (veleta), it turns with the wind. It tests an [out-] sider scenario and dares its natural, offbeat outfit: like flags or wings, the [Bichinoid3 Urbano] – via thinly striped [piloties] lends its charm and fantasy to those passing by.
