BTTF2 HOVERBOARD BY NILS GUADAGNIN

"The Hoverboard is a project made by Nils guadagnin, a young french artist. This work is born in 2008 for an exhibition named "Back To the future".
It 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, this artist 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."

Marty McFly 80's Show Piece

Just finished up my contribution for the upcoming 80's Show. So show of hands, how many people really wish the future was full of Hoverboards, double ties, auto lacing Nikes, holographic Jaws sequels, flying cars, jackets that auto fit and dry, bionic implants, Cafe 80's, fax machines everywhere, Black & Decker Hydraters, leashes that walk your dogs for you, paying for things via thumb print, precise weather timing, all lawyers abolished, and Miami really beating the Cubbies for the World Series? I know i do, sigh...
