Otro, a skateable sculpture at Vassiviere Island (France).

Otro is a daring skateable artwork, composed of different bowls, a cradle and a tunnel.

Koo Jeong A invites novices and experts to share the physical and sensorial experience of her work by “skating the landscape”.

The concept of OTRO, its ovoid shape, the use of green phosphorescent paint, its progressive discovery, and its integration in the island meadow make this artwork become an infinite land of investigation, that reflects all details like the light, its link with the site, the atmospheres, the dream and the fantastical.

OTRO is an artwork made of bumps: the cradle and hollows, bowls and a tunnel.

This work of Koo Jeong A refers to both definitions of sculpture and representation: hollows and bumps, shadows and lights, soft or accentuated reliefs.

A fully functioning pinball machine you can skate. This world first skatepark makes you the ball in a 600 square foot machine rigged with sensors, sounds and lights, to score your run just like pinball.

Park open 4-26 June. Gate 2, Hickory Ave, Henderson (New Zealand). (Vimeo).

The pinball park allows you to record your high score or to create a halo 360 of one of your trick (20 cameras recording a still picture on various angles). Check the official website.

Built in only 17 days for an upcoming competition, this park cost almost $500,000 to create and will remain open for only 3 weeks once the contest is over.

A true replica of a pinball machine down to the lights, sounds and launcher at the beginning, this park is a dream come true for anyone who has ever been a teenage skater. (Hypebeast).
