G’day ,

We’re a group of University students from Arts and Sound (NHL), based in
Leeuwarden, the Netherlands.  The reason we’re contacting you because we
wanted to ask you if your studio would be interested in co-participating
with our idea for a sound/visual art installation.

We’re currently working on a project involving arts and sound, creating an
interactive installation which will take place in Leeuwarden by the
beginning of June this year. The project called “Leeuwarden’s Future” is
being impulsed by the City council, together with a Innovative Media
Company, with the aim of positioning Leeuwarden for the Cultural Capital of
Europe Award, happening in 2018.

The project involves the use of Bicycles, Alternative energy generation,
Music, visuals and fun.
The idea is to build an installation where people can “create” music
together by pedaling an adapted set of fix bicycles, which will be equipped
with sensors linked to a software which will control different music
parameters, and then projected on the water surface. People will not only
be having fun and get creative, but also exercising, and even generating
energy at the same time, which will be used to power up and run the
installation.

We think it could be a good opportunity for both parties, since we’re more
art students and we don’t really know much about  IT / technical stuff to
create the software ourselves, plus our timeframe is short and probably
wouldn’t get it on time; so if you would like to cooperate with us, we
would really appreciate it.
As for your side, we would off course give you all the credit for the
technical part, plus it would be useful for you as collateral promotion,
which we think could be beneficial for your studio, since this project /
event is trying to fostering innovation, futuristic ideas and technology,
which will certainly attract the attention of the media and other
institutions, and it would put you in the spotlight as well.


We’re attaching you here a brief describing the concept idea plus some
sketches that might help to understand it better.
