London has been going Olympics crazy in prep for the start of The Games on July 27th.
However Czech artist David Cerny has taken crazy to a whole new level by transforming an iconic red London bus into an athlete doing push ups.
The barmy piece of art has two electronic arms attached to it, which lift the vehicle up and down to simulate the movement of push ups.
With each movement the bus also makes slightly disturbing sounds of physical exertion. Imagine a Transformer making sex noises and you’ll get the picture.
‘There is one common exercise for every sportsman in the world, and that is push-ups,’ Cerny told the Metro.
‘It is training for sport activities but at the same time it is also punishment in armies and prisons. So the push-ups are a very universal physical activity…It is in a way very ironic.’
The artwork, named the London Booster, is positioned outside the Czech Olympic House in Islington.
Cerny hopes the bus will become an unofficial mascot of The Games and inspire the athletes to win some medals.
Yep, a bus doing push ups is always brilliant motivation.
