Imagine hopping on a shared ebike only to find it suddenly much harder to pedal in certain neighborhoods. This isn't a glitch, but an art project designed to make you feel the weight of income inequality firsthand. By linking GPS location to detailed economic data, these bikes deliberately slow down in areas where residents spend over 30% of their income on rent. It's a stark, physical reminder of the housing crisis that usually stays abstract. While some might find it disruptive or a bit extreme, it certainly sparks a conversation about how deeply economic disparities impact everyday life, making the invisible burden of rent very, very tangible. It’s a creative, albeit uncomfortable, way to highlight systemic issues right under our noses. #art #socialjustice #urbanism https://www.wired.com/story/this-art-pr… 🔗
