Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race, 2011

This is the view from shore of the water entry leg of the race. You will see one example of a contender for the Golden Flipper Award, which is for the most interesting water entry. The sculptures shown here are Am-Ish Sin Caballo, When Hell Freezes Over, Bob (from Takoma Park!), Kipplala (a sabre-toothed tiger?), Frog, Pussy Galore, Fifi the Pink Poodle, Bumble Bee, Batmobile, The Claw Machine, Ankh-ers Away, The V-8 Power Plants, Brunehilde, Margot the Escargot, and a Viking boat called Vechysvboat.

The Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race is hosted by the American Visionary Art Museum. The sculptures are amphibious, human-powered works of art. The race covers 15 miles through the streets of Baltimore, and even a little dip into the Chesapeake Bay.
