<p><strong><a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-08/16/human-pylons">Human pylons carry electricity across Iceland</a></strong></p> An entry in the “Icelandic High-Voltage Electrical Pylon International Design Competition” proposes giant human-shaped electricity pylons. “The figures can be placed into different poses, with the suggestion that the landscapes could inform the position that the sculpture is placed into. For example, as a power line ascends a hill, the pylons could look as if they’re climbing. The figures could also stretch up to gain increased height over longer spans.” <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/design">design</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pylons">pylons</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/recovered">recovered</a></p>
