在2013年10月3日，景观小品“不平行的方式”被安装在纽约布鲁克林第四大街。这个铝制的雕塑长度为140英尺，高度约为12英尺。整个雕塑的由美国委托运输部城市艺术项目委托设计，是“布鲁克林乌托邦”表演的一部分。
此次景观小品“不平行的方式”设计灵感来源于我们的精神状态。在纽约布鲁克林,快节奏的生活常常迫使人们在行进中选择最快捷的路线。人们的出行虽然会采用步行,骑车,开车等方式，但这些来来往往的人们以及各式各样的交通工具,常常会在不知不觉中以一种平行的姿态前行，这便是一种人们不太容易察觉的规律。在此次设计中设计师故意将用两条黄色缎带般的铝制小品设计成交错前进，用一种诙谐的手段表达了我们冥冥之中不得不一生遵从的人生轨迹。
此外，这个雕塑还有另一个作用，那就是可以作为以后为汽车导航参照物。随着谷歌眼镜的发明与应用,人们有望实现汽车的无人驾驶。在这一过程中，人们可以通过GPS、谷歌地图、以及智能手机定位等手段等确定我们的位置、指导我们前进的方向，而马路中间的这两条黄色的条带便可以充当自动导航的参照物，有了它来指引行驶方向以后，我们所需要做的仅仅是系好安全带这么简单了。

In Brooklyn, in New York City it is often all about creating our own road and figuring out how to get there the quickest. We often walk, ride, drive, bike solo traveling side by side unconsciously leading parallel lives, in part by default of transportation. We are constantly in transit(ion) riding up and down on our paths between trains, apts, jobs, relationships, events, etc which itself is a cooperation of complex systems of infrastructure.
Unparallel Way interprets our state of mind and both humorously twists the yellow line that is suppose to “take you there” into a comment on itself and seriously holds open the nature of the path which we are all compelled to follow through life.
With the invention of Google Glasses, the promise of cars which drive themselves, the use of GPS, GoogleEarth, and Smartphones to pinpoint where we are and guide where we are going, the notion of that 2 plain yellow stripe down the middle of the highway as being a “smart backbone” of transit and able to direct vehicles becomes rational and possible. That line could just about buckle up and laugh back before straightening out to take us to our destination.
This work “Unparallel Way” was installed on the Fourth Ave Medians at 3rd St in Brooklyn NY in October 2013. The work in aluminum is 140 feet in length with varying heights at 12″ in width.
The sculpture was commissioned by the D.O.T Urban Art program and part of show Brooklyn Utopias curated by Katherine Gressel.
