The Constructor’s Challenge

“It’s a life-sized (5’ x 8’) slider puzzle of Type 57x motorcycle. This motorcycle was the first full prototype of our patented integrated suspension frame, displayed at Michael Lichter’s Motorcycles as Art: Old Iron, Young Blood exhibit in 2017. So, the bike holds a special place in my soul.

The goal of the puzzle is to make the viewer feel the experience of creating a motorcycle. It is 11 pieces that cannot be taken out, but need to be slid around inside of a frame to get them to line up and create the resultant picture. I want viewers to really feel the frustration of knowing “I know this piece needs to go there, but how to I get it there?” It is a perfect metaphor for motorcycle building, and really creating anything in any medium. You know all the pieces that must go into it, but the frustration and excitement along the way is what makes the journey so formative. So, I wanted to create something interactive to make viewers feel a snippet of that experience – and hopefully be inspired to create something of their own.”
