Imagine an art installation that breathes and glows in direct response to your physical effort. Canopy invites participants to pedal bike-driven generators, turning their collective energy into a dynamic neon forest made of inflatable tree sculptures. Unlike ordinary sculptures fixed in place, these vibrant forms constantly shift, expanding, contracting, lighting up, or dimming, reflecting the group's combined momentum. This creates a shared experience where individual input visibly shapes the evolving living space.

What makes Canopy truly fascinating is how the inflatable trees respond in real time to the cyclists’ effort, blending mechanical energy with soft, light-filled structures. Seeing the shapes change as you pedal alongside others highlights an unusual collaboration between human physicality and artistic expression. One intriguing question remains: how might different group dynamics or cycling rhythms uniquely alter the installation’s shifting environment?
