Twinkling Solar Bike Path Inspired by Vincent van Gogh's
Bike path inspired by Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' opens in Netherlands ... that feature glow-in-the-dark technology and solar-powered LED lights. Dutch artist and designer Daan
Roosegaarde has created a beautiful and innovative glowing bike path
that, when illuminated at night by glowing pebbles and LEDs, looks like
Van Gogh’s famous Starry Night painting.
The kilometer-long bike path, which was
created using both glow-in-the-dark technology and solar-powered LEDs,
is located in Brabant, the Dutch county where Van Gogh was born and
raised. The swirling, glowing forms on the path’s surface will help
bicyclists stay on track when they ride at night.
A Solar-Powered Glow-in-the-dark Bike Path by Studio Roosegaarde Inspired by Van Goghby Christopher Jobson on November 12, 2014 ... inspired by painter Vincent van Gogh (who lived in Nuenen from 1883 to 1885),
We’ve seen similar glowing paths
before in the U.K. We can only hope that more artists and innovators
join forces to create such beautiful and environmentally friendly paths!
I wanted to create a place that people
will experience in a special way, the technical combined with
experience, that's what techno-poetry means to me," said Roosegaarde in a
statement.
This isn't the first time Roosegaarde has teamed up with construction-services business Heijmans.
The collaborators have also been working on a series of "Smart Highways," a concept that combines light, energy and road signs that react according to the present traffic situation.
