Discarded road signs morphed into amazing kinetic sculptures

You might have seen neglected road signs along a busy highway so many times. However, have you ever taken time to think if these could be morphed into sculptures, and those too – the kinetic ones? RBTS, a participatory community-based public art project led by Arts & Environment Initiative Director and artist Amara Geffen, seeks to bring it about with some distinct solar- and wind-powered kinetic components.

Read Between the Signs is a series of arty fences erected along PennDOT’s storage lot and the gateway to Meadville. The sculptural installations are a sort of homage to the Allegheny Mountains, the French Creek watershed, roads, PennDOT workers, farms and forests. Make sure to have a peek at this ongoing roadside intervention, which locates itself beside Route 322, if you visit Meadville anytime soon
