Arriva North West: Liverpool Biennial, the making of the space bus 2016

Описание: Three double-decker buses have been transformed by contemporary artists into moving works of art in a major new commission by Liverpool Biennial, in partnership with Arriva North West.

The buses were launched to coincide with Liverpool Biennial 2016, running throughout the festival. One was transformed by pupils from Childwall Sports & Science Academy with Hato, and the other two by artists Frances Disley and Ana Jotta. The buses can be seen driving on routes through the City Centre, South Liverpool, North Liverpool and the Wirral.

Designed by Year 7 pupils from Childwall Sports & Science Academy, in collaboration with artists and designers Hato, a Space Bus called Hello Future Me contains coded messages to the future citizens of Liverpool, spelt out in an alphabet of newly invented symbols that draw inspiration from imagined futures. It pays homage to the tradition of sending messages into outer space, in the hope that extraterrestrial beings will be able to understand more about human civilisation.
