Four-wheeled and Two-wheeled vehicles used in the 80’s for public and private transport alike, will be placed in the courtyard surrounding the technology pavilion. Cars, motorcycles, scooters (“παπάκια” or "ducklings"), busses, streetcars will be there for visitors to marvel at and, in some cases, conditions permitting, sit in for a photo opportunity or to watch the surrounding interactive happenings from. This is the last re-enacting experience of the exhibition, designed to give visitors the chance to get in touch with old forms of auto- moto- and mass transport. Despite currently seeming outdated, these exhibits symbolize a breakthrough for the masses, marking the entrance into the era of the four-wheel and two-wheel culture.




Dionysis Notarakis Dionysis Notarakis acquired an MSc in Sociology from the University of Amsterdam in 2013. He is currently working at “Efoplistis” magazine.
