The Graphic Method: Bicycle is a performance in which a man on a bicycle is pulled - very slowly - over a distance of 10 metres by a mechanically driven cable. The performer (the man on the bicycle) is lifted from the saddle at a very slow pace. The heartbeat, breathing and muscle contractions are amplified through sensors attached to the performer's body. The performance lasts about 30 minutes and will be introduced by Arjen Mulder, (see p18).
Dick Raaijmakers is generally considered as both the founding father and godfather of electronic music in the Netherlands, and The Graphic Method: Bicycle is one of his most illustrative and important works.
