Seattle Great City Initiative has already begun the work of educating the general public and elected officials about innovative transportation options through their “STREETS for PEOPLE” campaign. The purpose of this companion exhibition, aLIVe, is to launch the LIV Project, a multi-phase effort to re-think our transportation system.

aLIVe seeks existing prototypes or self-funded Low Impact Vehicle (LIV) projects for a one-day, outdoor exhibition at Seward Park in Seattle on August 22, 2009. Anyone can exhibit. Projects will not be reviewed in advance of the exhibition date, but the organizers request that Participants carefully adhere to the project goals and guidelines described in this Call.

This exhibition will take place in an urban park with a paved path so that exhibitors can both display and demonstrate their projects. Judges will present Creativity & Vision awards, and attendees will be asked to vote for People’s Choice awards. Artist-made trophies will be presented to the winners.

The purpose of this exhibition is to present new ideas. Refined is good. Rough is good. Goofy is good. Pie-in-the-sky is good. To qualify for aLIVe, a LIV isn’t required to be a fully functional transportation solution—it may be a metaphorical invitation to change our thinking and explore other options. At its essence, a human body is aLIVe—so motion of all types is welcome—dance, poetry, music…
