On the truckmobile · shuttle
Roams at walking pace with spotters — a slow, mythic creature moving through the crowd. Can shuttle standing riders around the site. Ideal for parades and roaming activations.
Groundedsculpture · walk-through
Craned off the chassis to sit on the ground for the event's run — visitors walk through it like a passage, in one side and out the other. Reads as a permanent installation.
