汽车又一次成为艺术家手中的道具,这一次《汽车消费报告》介绍的是美国艺术家杰里米·迪恩(Jeremy Dean)和一辆被他改装了的悍马车,在迪恩手上,悍马变成了真正用马拉的马车,他到底想表达什么 编辑 | 戈马 视觉 | 刘瑁 悍马虽然高效,但也因油耗高而成了烧钱的玩意。虽然通用汽车宣布停止了悍马的生产,但马路上还是能见到不少悍马隆隆开过。艺术家杰里米·迪恩( Jeremy Dean)就挑了一辆悍马,改装成了用马拉的马车。 迪恩用借用电影《回到未来》(Back to theFuture)的名称和通用汽车在1939年一次名为Futurama的会展,给他的这个艺术项目取名为Back to theFuturama。他觉得,等人类所有能源都用光了以后,汽车估计就都得变成这副模样了。 Hummers are known as some of the most inefficient vehicles ever. Getting nine miles to the gallon, they are not only a drain on oil supplies; they are a drain on our wallets in this age of extremely expensive gasoline. Although GM recently announced the end of the Hummer line, there are plenty of these beasts still rolling around out there. Artist Jeremy Dean took one of those beasts and put it into an entirely new context by turning it into a horse-drawn carriage. The project is called "Back to the Futurama," combining references to the "Back to the Future" movies and GM&´s 1939 World´ s Fair exhibit entitled "Futurama." The exhibit showed a future world populated by cars and rich with automated highways. While many of G´s predictions did come true - namely, the vast suburbs and huge network of streets - they couldn´ tlook ahead far enough to see the conclusion of those predictions: a world with too many cars, too little oil, and the need to make some big changes.
