Pinky Soundy Bicycle Roaming in Yokohama is a project focused on creating public instruments that everyone can participate in building. These DIY instruments are mounted on modified bicycles and can be ridden around the city for various activities, allowing people to interact with the instruments through public performances. This project took place as part of the Koganecho Bazaar 2015 "Art Together with The Town" artist-in-residency program.
Initially, workshops were held with interested local residents to collaboratively create public instruments using materials sourced from household items or waste. Once the first bicycle instrument, named Pinky Soundy, was completed, it was ridden around Yokohama every weekend. This invited people to play the public instruments together, and the performances were recorded on video and audio.
The recordings were then exhibited in the gallery space of the Koganecho Bazaar. The exhibition room featured a large map of Yokohama, highlighting the routes traveled by Pinky Soundy. Visitors to the exhibition were also invited to suggest new locations for Pinky Soundy to visit. Each weekend, Pinky Soundy would travel to these recommended spots, as indicated on the map in the exhibition room.
