Hoverboard Project

May 27, 2010 by     No Comments    Posted under: Paranoias

The Hoverboard is a project born in 2008 for an exhibition named « Back To the future ». This work is a copy of the hoverboard from the movie Back to the Future II. Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air. In the making of this work, I was thinking about different ways of presenting sculpture. In fact it’s a reflexion on the multiple possibilities of how to give a sculpture full spatial autonomy.
