Hiding in Plain Sight

“Hiding in Plain Sight,” a project by STUDIOGRUBER, is a pedal-powered pop-up movie theater. Visitors are invited to climb onto a bike and pedal in order to view unique short films, including several historic Pittsburgh-themed pieces. In order to generate sufficient electric power to activate the projection, participants cooperate and become team players to power the theater by pedaling. The idea is that “Hiding in Plain Sight” is a public performance that turns passers-by into actors and a necessary piece of the show. The purpose of the piece is to encourage casual encounters and playful interaction among strangers, while raising thought provoking questions about the nature of public space, our health, and energy consumption. “Hiding in Plain Sight” will activate the Four Gateway Center Plaza for two weeks as a project of BetaBurgh and is free and open to the public.
