People of Tomorrow: Unite the World and Build a Bridge With Messages

BOOM, Belgium, November 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Tomorrowland, Arne Quinze & De Schorre are building a state-of-the-art, permanent public artwork and invite the whole world to help via  http://www.peopleoftomorrow.com. Belgian artist Arne Quinze has taken inspiration from the Winged Victory of Samothrace sculpture and invites everybody around the world to be part of the project. Anyone can leave a message on the wood of the artwork, as a contribution to this symbol of friendship and unity.

The public art installation by Arne Quinze symbolises connection between people. That's why the bridge is being partly financed via crowdfunding. That means anyone - anywhere in the world - can have their personal message permanently installed on the bridge, thanks to a specially developed website: http://www.peopleoftomorrow.com.

The goal? To create an artwork with 210,000 positive messages from every corner of the world. With that many messages, it will be a world record: there have never been so many people involved in the creation of a single artwork. Many artists, DJs and inspiring personalities from throughout the world have already agreed to take part.

The construction of the bridge will be filmed and photographed, and viewers can follow every step of the progress via http://www.peopleoftomorrow.com. This way, the audience will get to watch 'their' project come to life. 'One World by the People of Tomorrow' will be officially opened in June 2014.

'One World by the People of Tomorrow' is a work by everyone and for everyone. Accessibility is an important focus of the project to create a positive link between the visitors and the art project. For example, the bridge will be easily accessible for wheelchairs and there will also be inscriptions in Braille. A subtle lighting plan will enhance safety without causing light pollution.

Arne Quinze will perfectly tailor his installation to the setting, similar to his earlier creation 'Natural Chaos'. He has opted here again for organic forms and subtle patches of colour. When the sun hits the special glass sections it will create a fascinating play of light, bringing the bridge fully to life. At dusk, the atmosphere will shift to a subdued intensity - perfect for a heart-warming evening stroll.

The installation will be built using carefully chosen, sustainable materials such as steel and the tropical hardwood Okan from the FSC label.
