Original artwork description
Biking in circles, using dice to determine number of rotations and colours.
The name is from train stations in Berlin along the S41 line, which runs clockwise.
15 buckets were prepared: Colour was determined by rolling 2x 6-sided die to select from the various tubes; violet, green, red, magenta, turquoise, yellow. The ratio between these tubes was decided by a 12-sided die.
A length of 120cm was divided and layed out at the start of “race track”, this happens to be about the same length as one wheel rotation on the bike. A 12-sided die was rolled to select where each of the 15 buckets should be poured from along the 120cm section.
Finally a 12-sided die chose how many times to pass over where the buckets had been poured (how many laps to do on the bike). 1 would mean no rotation and a straight line from entry to exit.
