Ingenuity Festival

This is the Detroit–Superior Bridge in Cleveland (really just half of it in this pano, it is big).
When it was completed in 1917, it was the largest steel and concrete reinforced bridge in the world.
It has two levels, the top one for cars, and the bottom one for streetcars.
As in many other cities, the streetcar system in Cleveland was killed off by the auto industry long ago, so the bottom level of the bridge is now closed (click here for more information).
Once a year though, it is opened up for an art festival called Ingenuity Fest, which I went to a couple months ago and it was one of the coolest festivals I have seen.

Entering the “catacombs” of the bridge

Interactive art.

Capitalist art.

I found the bridge’s life meter?

Art Pano

This picture, taken from a huge bridge, contains at least five other bridges. Cleveland is all about bridges.

Don’t look down.

I can bend steel with my panoramic stitching powers.

Infinite bridge

70 years ago streetcars were rumbling through here. Not anymore though, because now we have…buses. Yay. buses…

Ghost projections

Lights and pipes

Just warming up. Or cooling down.

I wish I could remember this band’s name, because they were really cool.

Yeah.

Hip angst.

Not every day you have a scene like this in front of you.

I think someone was trying to signal aliens from their roof. I assume they succeeded.

Greenbeam.

Goodnight Bridge. The End.
