Van Gogh glowing cycle trail shimmers in Netherlands
Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has unveiled what is arguably the world’s most artistic cycle path in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Vincent Van Gogh’s death.
The high-end cycling highway consists of more than 50,000 solar powered, glow in the dark stones which appear to glitter and swirl in a Van Gogh-like fashion after dark. The installation was inspired by Van Gogh’s famous ‘Starry Night’ oil on canvas painting.
Studio Roosegaarde and construction firm Heijmans worked together to develop the innovative technology, which is also being used as part of a wider series of ‘Smart Highway’ projects.
Costing €700,000 (US$868,251, £553,973) the cycle route aims to connect heritage spots in Van Gogh’s homeland, including the locations where he produced some of his most famous masterpieces.
Tying together exercise, innovation, heritage, tourism and contemporary design, Roosegaarde commented: "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."
