Kinetic Sculpture Race 2004

Posted by timothy on from the get-your-life-vest-on dept.

YetAnotherName writes "Tom Jones again has coverage and eye-candy of the 2004 Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race where engineers and artists come together, with tongues firmly in cheeks, to create land-riding, mud-crawling, sea-slogging, human-powered works of art. Amongst the winners were the Cirque de Sore Legs and La Kafkaracha."

  1. Californian's and others in the west by Schlaegel · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have been going to the grand daddy of all Kinetic Sculpture Races for a few years. It is in the fine north-west; Arcata to be exact.

    Go check it out (May 29-31) if you want to see some home grown hilarious technology. The sculptors are bizarre and have to do some amazing feats!

  2. Boulder, Colorado Kinetics are this weekend by xmas2003 · · Score: 5, Informative
    FYI FWIW: This type of event has been around for a long-time here in Boulder, Colorado. It was originally scheduled for last weekend, but the weather was marginal - should be a pretty glorious sunny 70+ degree day for this weekend though. You can read more about it at the Boulder Kinetics Webpage.

    Should be a lot more fun than watching my grass grow! ;-)
