Olafur Eliasson: Mekanism Skateboards

Mekanism Skateboard Company recently partnered with Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson to custom create a new series of skateboard decks. The new work, titled Your Mercury Ocean, features a highly reflective, rippled surface that accurately mimics a liquid. The final work remains functional for skating.
Olafur Eliasson’s work utilizes sensory experience to examine the relationship that individuals have with their surroundings, in an attempt to alter the perception of the world around us. Eliasson has been featured on DailyServing numerous times for his exhibition at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, his numerous New York City Waterfalls and for his participation in the exhibition To Illustrate and Multiply: An Open Book at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Pacific Design Center.

Last year, DailyServing covered German artist Dirk Skreber’s skateboard project with Mekanism.
