HOVERBOARD BY NILS GUADAGNIN
The Hoverboard is a project made by Nils Guadagnin, a young french artist. This work is born in 2008 for an exhibition named “Back To the future”.
It is a copy of the hoverboard from the movie Back to the Future II. Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air.
In the making of this work, this artist was thinking about different ways of presenting sculpture. In fact it’s a reflexion on the multiple possibilities of how to give a sculpture full spatial autonomy.
The project have been realised with levitation technology of crealev company. crealev.com
