Electric Chairs for zero emissions mobility?

What are the gifts zero emissions mobility will bring us? This short movie clip is about the fun and pleasure from driving in zero emissions mobility, represented in stop motion animation.

Imagine a future, in which zero emissions mobility becomes a very common thing like the chair you are sitting on right now. On March 31st and April 3rd, there will be a number of chairs representing zero emissions mobility come into our daily life in SOHO, NYC. You can check out some of the photos from the scenes on the Zero Emissionary Facebook fan page.

Hope you come out and check out the initiative if you are around.

SU11’s Battery Charging Station

100305JtZ
A Journey to Zero is a campaign aimed at discovering a way to Zero Emission through collaboration with numerous architects, designers, and artists.

SU11 is a team of two architects, Ferda Kolatan and Erich Schoenenberger. Their theme in the  “A Journey to Zero” campaign is to create a battery recharge station. They thought about the functionality and design in order to successfully place this stations in the city. As a result, they created a icon, which can not only recharge electric vehicles  but other personal electronic devices as well.

In Spring 2010, they plan to hold a seminar with students at Penn Design and Pratt Institute to discuss about Zero Emission Mobility Module. If you are interested, you can find more information here.

Original Audio Track by Universal Everything

A Journey to Zero is a campaign aimed at discovering a way to Zero Emission through collaboration with numerous architects, designers, and artists.

In our past blog post, we introduced “TYPE ZERO”, a free font created by the designer, Marcus Eriksson. But this time, its ’sound’. Matt Pyke, leader of the artist group Universal Everything thinks ’sound’ will be the center of many discussions in the search of Zero Emission. So he created a beautiful soundtrack for such purpose.

A video by Universal Everything based on this soundtrack can be viewed on the campaign website. They are asking you to also create videos using their soundtrack and upload it online. Matt Pyke himself will give feedback to the uploaded videos. Use this chance to imagine your Zero Emission future.
