(via) This circular, 2.4 metre wide “Infinite Bridge” in Denmark runs a circumference of 188 metres from shore to deep and back. The month-long temporary sculpture was an interactive facet of the city of Aarhus’ recent contemporary art biennale, aptly dubbed Sculpture by the Sea. “Walking on the bridge you experience the changing landscape as an endless panoramic composition and at the same time you enter a space of social interaction with other people experiencing the same panorama,” says architect Johan Gjøde of Gjøde & Povlsgaard Arkitekter, the local firm behind the project. It sounds perfect for Vancouver, just so long as the Parks Board didn’t mother it up with hand rails, netting, and grip tape. We’ll take ours – just for a month – on Third Beach.
If a similar structure were to be installed in Vancouver, I am sure Christie Clark and our mayor would require anyone stepping on the structure to wear a helmet.
